MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Hi,
For some reason, the following link will not shorten on twitter.
[url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/feb/21/photographer-films-anti-terror-arrest ]http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/feb/21/photographer-films-anti-terror-arrest[/url]
I can't find reference to shortening URL's in the FAQ and I thought it was supposed to be an automatic thing?
Can some help me out please?
Many thanks,
Carl.
it's not auto, you need to use something like tinyurl
Doh! too slow
OK, thanks.
Though I am now confused, as I'm sure I've used it before and it was auto.
Must be my age creeping in ......
Thanks guys.
Cal.
if you use a twitter client such as Tweetie, you can do this stuff easier (although you still need to tell it to shorten the URL)
tweetdeck shortens them automatically, which is nice
As does echofon and has firefox integration
Twitpic does for photos. I use shadyurl.com for sinister abbreviations
How sad! 🙄 Stop using twitter, simples!
[i]Twitter advice please[/i]
Don't use it. HTH.
