"Share" function on Ow.ly Social Bar 2.0 should let us choose to submit original URL instead of shortened ow.ly URL
A couple of the "share" destinations built into the Social Bar don't work well with ow.ly URLs. For example, when I try to submit an ow.ly URL to Digg, I get a warning message about a TOS violation. (Screenshot below.)
And when I want to post to my Delicious account, I usually want to post the original URL with its title, not the shortened version. (It works fine with Facebook and Friendfeed, though.) So I think there should be a checkbox somewhere to allow us to submit the non-shortened URL to the sharing services.

Inappropriate?Hey nbr,
Thanks for your suggestion - we appreciate the feedback. This is something we are thinking about implementing.
Cheers,
Kate and the HootSuite team. -
Inappropriate?It has to link to the digg page otherwise we would be digging a different link and not adding to the current digg count.
All the social sites should have the original URL because this is true for them all.
I am waiting for this to be implemented before I start using the ow.ly bar

Inappropriate?Displaying the Hoot pane at the top of every page linked to by an ow.ly url is ANNOYING and hides part of the page. I never read what it say - just close it. When I retweet ow.ly links I convert them to some other URL shortener.
I want to try the iPhone app and was if it was free to try but won't be if I cannot change the URL shortener.
ANNOYING.
I’m ANNOYED
