[twitter-dev] Re: hyphens at the end of shortned urls

2011-03-21 Thread roliver
Taylor,

Thanks for checking on this.   I hate asking, but can you give me a
rough ETA on when this might be corrected and if it will apply to
already posted updates?   Reason I ask is because if it is going to
take weeks I'll need to put in a temporary fix on the AWeber side.

Thanks again
Rodney

 Hi there,

 We'll look into this issue; I'm unsure if the non-linkifying of URLs ending
 with a dash was intentional or not, but likely was not.
 To answer your latter question, tweet entities cannot be written
 to/suggested at time of tweet creation unfortunately.

 Thanks,
 Taylor

  Is there a way to explicitly define the links that get picked up,

  are included in the entities: urls section of a tweet, but it is not
  clear if I am able to _submit_ the entities section for my own
  posts.

  Any help is appreciated.

Don't have a rough ETA unfortunately; if it's important to you that your
links are clickable by default on Twitter.com, then you may want to
temporarily adjust your URL's format.
