Awesome, now instead of merely having no idea where a link on Twitter is taking me, I can be left in the dark by links from many other top websites as well! And to think this entire "space" could have been avoided by Twitter not counting URLs against message length.
It has been interesting to follow the trend through the years back to where we started. In the beginning we had http://foo.com/bar.cgi?p=123. Then there was a big movement to bring context to URLs and we got http://foo.com/2005/01/01/my-post/. Now even Google and Facebook are determined to bring us full circle to our inferior origins. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad.
