Interaction with URL-shortening services?
Hi guys-
Awesome changes so far, really glad to be able to start playing around with the site.
Quick question: do you ping popular URL shortening services (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc.) to map the shortened URLs to their longer counterparts? For example, I was testing out uberVU by tracking a Flickr set of holiday photos I'd posted (narcissistic, I know). Just after I created the set I sent around the bit.ly-shortened link on Twitter but I don't see that tweet tracked, even though technically it's part of the same "conversation".
Anyway, I'm sure it's on your list or I'm missing a feature somewhere, I'll keep poking around.
Great job on uberVU overall, excited to see it progress.

Inappropriate?Hi Michael,
Right now we are tracking URLs from tinyurl and is.gd
The problem with URL shortening services like bit.ly or twurl.nl is that the same URL will have different shortened URLs and at the moment there is no way to get all these URLs.
We are working to find a solution.
All the best,
Dan
I’m excited
