I don't think there's a way to track views of specific tweets. I don't think it would even make sense anyway, since tweets are basically only seen by your followers, who will generally see all your tweets. The only possibly meaningful metrics would be rewets, replies, and click-thru from links

Use http://bit.ly to shorten the URLs in your tweets and get click statistics for each URL. If you post links to your site, add a meaningless parameter to the URL in order to track incoming click from Twitter. Somthing like http://example.com/page.html?source=twitter And while we are at it
