Naveen, I saw a case with one of my searches this morning where a bit.ly url appeared to have been expanded before Twitter Search matched on the tweet. Tim Haines said this morning on Twitter he had seen something similar.
So, for the first tweet: $ curl -I "http://bit.ly/cMsa7U" HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Server: nginx/0.7.42 Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 20:32:14 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Connection: keep-alive Set-Cookie: _bit=4bedb34e-00080-050e7-b4a08fa8;domain=.bit.ly;expires=Wed Nov 10 15:32:14 2010;path=/; HttpOnly Location: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/95JeYV6zcMk/?utm_source=SocialScope&utm_medium=SocialScope&utm_campaign=SocialScope&utm_term=SocialScope&utm_content=SocialScope MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Length: 443 The expanded bit.ly link contains 'SocialScope'. -damon -- http://twitter.com/damon http://blog.damonc.com On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 3:14 PM, Naveen Ayyagari <nav...@getsocialscope.com> wrote: > Hello, > I have seen this a few times in the last couple of days and did > not see it mentioned on the list.
