I'm curious whether they're going to outright put a blanket ban on "alternative" URL shorteners like they did with Twitter-based Ad services.
- mikeleeorg 16y agoI hope not. I've grown attached to the metrics that other URL shorteners (e.g. bit.ly) offer. But if Twitter offered those metrics as well, then... goodbye bit.ly...
- abraham 16y agoThey are not. If you use an alternative shortener visitors will redirect to t.co then to your shortener then to the site.
