[twitter-dev] links to a specific url

2010-01-25 Thread Martin 
Hi.
I couldn´t find this on twitter api wiki.
Is it possible to search for tweets which contain a link to a
specified url? (For example to a blogpost.)

Thanks

Martin

Well, you could look through the search results. Here's the problem, 
though:  even if you did that URL may very well have been shortened.  So 
unless the URL is originally tiny that could make it impossible without 
extensive searches calls to URL shorteners.
