So if the title of the story for the URL were more descriptive, you'd find the site stickier? Do you think this is the kind of thing that could be sent to Mecha

For how I heard about putting it up for sale, I follow the author's twitter stream, @jstrellner. He announced that Twitturly was for sale on 17 September 2008:

Later he states that the offers didn't make the reserve price and he isn't selling:

- sam_in_nyc 18y agoNot so much the title.. it's just that most people that Tweet a URL tweet it in this format: <title of URL> tinyurl.com/fdjsk ... or basically what I'll call a "junk tweet" I like Twitturly for two reasons: the aggregation of tweets, and what the tweets themselves say. Reason #2 is getting less and less exciting, because more and more people are using automated means to tweet URLs, which results in the "junk tweet" as described above. Thanks for digging up that stuff :) Edit: On the front page, they do a good job of pruning out the junk tweets. But clicking on a URL and viewing the full tweet history shows mostly junk tweets. I'd very much like an option to hide that.
