No, yes. Abraham posted this sample code : <a href="http://twitter.com/share"; class="twitter-share-button" data-url="http://arst.ch/xyz"; data-count="vertical" data-via="abraham">Tweet</a> (I think that this will post a tweet with "Tweet: http://t.co/url (via @abraham)", although unsure) No: this does post a t.co URL. Yes: it will redirect to your custom URL, which will redirect the user to the final URL. This allows you to track your clicks, but it will not allow you to post custom URLs. You will have to keep using your previous Tweet Popup for that. Tom
