LEAVE IT TO USERS' CHOICE! DON'T EDIT MY TWEETS IF THEY'RE UNDER 140 LIMIT!
I own some top level single name domains (e.g name.com or another.org) and want my links to remain as them (part of what I PAY FOR) not some "bit.ly" address!
I am not some spammer, these are my real, developed domains with an audience receiving re-tweets through my main page in one case. I wan't people to see it's a link to my real site, not some spam!
And I'm pretty sure this didn't use to be the case for my sites, and that I had posted some in the past that were left alone (the ellipses of course) because the message did not exceed 140. this is something that I think just began happening on my account (it looks like from previous posts this was a problem then discontinued for some time and now is back)).
why not have a setting for "allow url modification" (and a choice on company to do so) or "NOT"?
it's almost like there's some kickback to twitter for forcing us through these redirects?
p.s. this whole "getsatisfaction" thing isn't so great either. I would prefer staying ON twitter for help and not having to add cookie allowances and give my email address to anyone else just to get this "help"!-
