As has been posted numerous times (try searching next time) Twitterfeed will use a secondary URL shortener if the primary selected one doesn't provide a shortened URL. If it continues to post urlShort (u.mavrev.com) links then it is a problem with your bit.ly API auth info. If not, it was just at the time of trying to shorten the link, bit.ly's servers didn't provide a response. This is done to ensure your link is still tweeted.

I’m slightly annoyed by people who can't use search

Thanks for the info. I did indeed do a search before posting, but nothing came up related to URL or shortener, which is why I posted this.

I (wrongly) assumed you searched for u.mavrev or similar. My apologies for sounding like a dick.

Like I said though, if it happens repeatedly, make sure to check your bit.ly API info since that seems to also cause this. But, it's probably just temporary.

No prob, and thanks for the additional info. Perhaps now with my trms in this question's subject line, it will help with future searches for other users.

Thanks again.
