I'm not developer, but couldn't find better place to report. I looked around to see if this issue as been submited but not seen. The folowing discussion is from 2 weeks ago (forgot to report). The issue is that if you don't put space at the end of link, the bracket is sent to bit.ly engine for encoding. Here's a mail discussion adressed to bit.ly support:
Using twitter, i sent a text that was: Cool Tuesday. idk what to do, so i do nothing :). (jodie foster fan http://thecia.com.au/reviews/f/images/flight-plan-0.jpg) and as turned (automatic feature) into: Cool Tuesday. idk what to do, so i do nothing :). (jodie foster fan http://bit.ly/y3mtF ...string that make the link errornous. Do you think I need to adress my suggestion to twitter instead ? ----------------------reply Yes, you need to ask twitter to fix that. They are using our api, but obviously, they are encoding the ")" after the .jpg. Thanks for letting us know, but yes, this is a twitter issue.
