"We will be updating the TOS to require you to check t.co and register the click."
Damn. Looks like URL shorteners are here to stay, permanently, and twitter is crowding out all existing link shorteners.
- dmix 16y agoThey already know what everyones clicking on. Except maybe in the twitter clients.
- tcdent 16y ago"Twitter clients" is a larger term than you realize. I've done banner campaigns, widgets and promotional websites that all display tweets in ways Twitter would be unable to track without this.
- muppetman 16y agoExactly. While they'll "wrap" other shortening services, what's the point now? People won't use them and they'll fall by the wayside. Not really a bad thing in my opinion (people use them now when they don't even need to) but still a bit of a smack in the face to services that essentially helped Twitter in their early days.
