I guess somehow you are out of touch with reality. You didn't know there are a lot of so called "celebrities" (read trashy types) on Twitter and that they all have gigantic egos? Gee.

I've always wondered why people listen to celebrities about anything (twitter or otherwise). However they do. Evidently famous people are intellectually superior to the rest of us. Then again maybe not.

I refuse to click on TinyURL or other shorted links. Unless I can (easily) see the real URL I don't click.

To me it is just another proxy to go through, and if you prefer direct connections and no proxies, well, why would you?

Thanks for the info, as it's quite interesting. I'm not a Twithead, and don't do social media. As per a previous thread, I'm a terrorist or other malcontent it seems. :D

You don't have to tweet to be on twitter. Use it like a 140 character RSS feed for things that are interesting. I follow a few comedians, sports networks, Wired and news mostly, but not a single person I actually know. I can scroll through the feed on my phone on the way to the bathroom, stay up to date and waste minimal time.

Twitter is a tool and like most tools, there are many ways to effectively use it.

quote:
Twitter’s URL shortening service, which replaces hyperlinks with its own t.co domain, suffered an outage on Monday following an abuse complaint made to the Australian company that hosts the domain registration. CNet discovered that Melbourne IT placed the t.co domain on hold after it received a phishing complaint, breaking links on the social network for millions of users in the process. The shortening service was designed to weed out malicious links as well as spam, but as Monday’s outage showed, it introduced a single point of failure that effectively crippled any sharing across the network.

There is no reason for obfuscated URL's as they normal truncate anyway.
