For all the mention of link rot, it seems like the primary use of third-party url-shorteners is Twitter. What percent of tweets are still useful a month later?

For all the mention of link rot, it seems like the primary use of third-party url-shorteners is Twitter. What percent of tweets are still useful a month later? "Oh no, my 3-month old tweet will be slightly more useless!" isn't really all that scary of a thought.
