Use of Link shorteners on Twitter

Hi all, Just wondering what people think about not using any link shorteners on the official Fedora twitter feed. Twitter actually passes all links in tweets through their own t.co/ link shortener, so using another one is just (IMHO) unnecessarily obfuscating the link from our followers on

Re: Use of Link shorteners on Twitter

Re: Use of Link shorteners on Twitter

There is one reason for using ow.ly URL shortener and that is it allows the person posting via hootsuite to track engagement with a post. I would rather see a URL shortener that is fedora branded being used if possible. On Tue, Nov 10, 2015, 8:02 PM Ryan Lerch wrote: > On

Hi Ryan, I think the use of a link shortener is adequate for Twitter. This is because they have a character limit, and using a shortener greatly helps increase the amount of text you can have in a tweet. Twitter counts your link's characters even though it passes it through its own link gateway.
