the "link >>" url appends characters to the end of the actual url
for example, a tweet which reads "check out http://example.com." would end up with a link including the period at the end, which results in a 404. Found on @commandlinefu's tweets.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?gar, there is no way we can know what characters are supposed to be in the url and then filter them out. imagine we filtered out the . you'd get links w/out file extensions (like .html) we have seen a lot of this popping up w/people typing a link like this (http://twitbin.com) and it adds the last parenthesis.
have you seen any twits on twitter w/the last . that don't break? if so send me a link of one so i can figure out how they do it.1 Comment

Hey Brian, thanks for the prompt response!
I hadn't thought about this enough, I agree it's pretty difficult to parse the url correctly, but trimming a period or a parenthesis from the very end of a possible url seems resonable to me.
I just checked the tweet http://twitter.com/commandlinefu/stat... with Tweetdeck, and the link worked okay.
I've just started using Twitbin and I'm really enjoying it! Thanks! -
Inappropriate?hmmm thanks for the feedback gar, so now to write a statement which trims . or ) if no text immediately follows it. what other characters do you think would be invalid in a url?
