     @alpacaherder it's just their lengthening short links with t.co, and obfuscating messages

     Ugh... I HATE the forced shortlinks, especially since I use another link shortening service for my own needs.

     @eightyeight Yeah, that does get annoying.

     @eightyeight It's explained somewhere in the API documentation why and what is being done. Clients lack proper support.

     @eightyeight I don't agree with it & doubt that it supposedly trumps spam/scam links, but it's not as stupid as I initially thought.

     @ralesk i think they really just want to track clicks. the spam/scam stuff is a front
