Comments on: All-in-one Twitter extender and URL shortener http://www.perton.com/2009/06/10/all-in-one-twitter-extender-and-url-shortener/ Marc's personal blog, about technology, consumerism, photography, the 70s, diabetes, the global Perton "family" and whatever else is on my mind. Hey, it's my personal blog, right?

Try tr.im ... digg.com ... bit.ly etc. instead of TinyURL. TinyURL is suffering growing pains … many shortened URLs don’t translate because TinyURL’s servers are apparently overwhelmed with traffic.

Also, I didn't know you were writing for The Consumerist--that's awesome, congrats! This is a very clever application of data URIs, Marc.

The ... is a link and if you hover over it the pop up says something like "oops, the message went over 140 characters, click here to see the rest of the message" or something like that. If you click it it goes to a twitter page with just that message in full in the middle. and the std. header, background and tool buttons top right to go back to your profile, main, etc... but not the side menu on the right. Would be nice to see this BUT, too many people are verbose and can say the same in less words! Sorry to say I am guilty of this. But there are times when 140 just won't do. Mutliple tweets are the only remedy OR I have put up a page what I want to say then start it in tweet with url to the rest of it on my own site.
