URL shortening - please make it smarter or provide options
ping.fm shortened URL redirecting page should have the same "html title" as the destination page.
OR
ping.fm should allow users to choose the URL shortening service they want to use.
Example :
The URL http://ping.fm/aLuwY has the title "Redirecting..."
However, other URL shortening services are smarter. The URL http://bit.ly/6dKwX has the actual title of the destination page.
Use case :
I have powertwitter enabled and this extension shows links as expanded URl title on the twitter page. Similar extensions and redirect tools will get incorrect information just looking at the ping.fm shortened URL

Inappropriate?This problem seems to have been fixed. ping.fm redirect URLs are now showing correct titles!
DId someone pickup this problem and fix it? Or I just overlapped with a pipeline feature release?
Whatever it is - i'm overwhelmed! Awesome work! Thanks!
