Recently active topics in Twitter tagged with links

I understand that part of the 140-character limit is figuring out what counts as a "character" (given HTML entities, alternate character encodings, etc.), but please please please don't resort to the dreaded truncation+ellipsis. This is ruining my tweets, and (today in particular, which has been quote-heavy on my Follow list) many others as well. Worse, it's often pushing important attribution out of the view, or (even worser) mangling the links by truncating to a partial URL.

To aid in comprehension, here is an example from a recent tweet of mine. First, the way it looks on the detail page (correct):



Then, the way it looks on the index pages (and in Twitterific, et al):



However you have to solve this, *please* stop the tweet truncation! I love Twitter too much to have it be so poopy in this regard.

Twitter sometimes goes into 'https' mode, and links to friends become explore.twitter.com/friendname.

Its more of a curiosity and an annoyance than anything critical.

Too often, Twitter's guess at how to link a reply to a Tweet is just plaain wrong. If the Twitterer has posted again , more recently, the link is misplaced. We need a "reply to this Tweet" button right there on the Twitter screen!

Twitter is becoming a big conversation but the conversations aren't linked up properly!

Just letting you know.
