Comment field for the links
I would like to have a comment field on each link, which would allow me to track the source (where I posted the idek-url).

RSS Page for all your ideks
This would give updates via RSS (hourly?) that show how all your latest and most active ideks are doing.

This is now moot, since all the links you create will be auto imported if you register that twitter name in your idek account.

enable exporting generated and original links/history in some format, eg. Excel, CSV, HTML etc.
A few other URL shortening services already provide this. As more people start using URL shorteners on a regular basis (I shorten on the average 30-50 daily), it's easy and quick to lose track of your generated links in a matter of weeks.

Protect link metrics from other viewers
I really like the link metrics you have, but I'm concerned that anyone will be able to view my link stats by adding /s to the end of my links.

I prefer your metrics so I'd love to see something like this on idek.
Thanks!

show a preview of the page the link points to.
I'm looking for a url shortener that will provide a preview of the page that a person is about to click on so that it gives them confidence to click. I really like Idek but can't see that you are doing this so far.
Thanks!

sort my location via IP
Like a mashup of a world map or something, that shows the general location/cities of where clickers came from. Data coming via IP address?
