You can learn about what t.co is and what it is used for by visiting
http://t.co . That page has a summary description and links to a help article
with more detailed information.

The point of t.co, as I understand it, is twitter's very different dynamic
with regards to spam.
Consider a scenario: someone creates a new account, sends one message with
@mentions of 5 high profile people, almost no text, but an http ref (perhaps
wrapped behind a shortener, maybe not).

Does anyone have an update from the Twitter team on when t.co will
make its way into messages sent via API calls?

Personally I feed the 140 should be whatever we send totally ignoring
the t.co factor otherwise it'll confuse end users and look like apps
are broken
Still waiting for someone from Twitter to talk about hownthe 140 will

Users don't know / don't care about the 140 char limit. If an app
allows them to send more than 140, they'll not thing it's a big deal.
Twitter can simply communicate that any URL will count for 20
characters, and so, for ex., a tweet could contain 6 veeery long URLs,
that would still fit in 140
Please Twitter can you give us an update on how character counts will
work
Personally the only way I see it making sense is if it's still 140 for
us and you change it after. Users will not understand when a character
count wildly jumps when typing and will assume the app is broken.
Also you've
I don't know the answer to the first few items, but I'm guessing that
the URLs will be unwrapped to whatever was originally submitted to
Twitter (i.e. whatever's currently shown when using the REST API
timelines with ?include_entities=true in the parameters)

Different question on the same email that states that Twitter will
start tracking every t.co click, whether on twitter.com or a Twitter
app. Does anyone know if Twitter will update their API to allow us to
get the Twitter Update ID that referred a particular click?
Thanks,

Yeah my point is that clients when posting shouldn't have to be aware
of this wrapping. As far as posting is concerned, what the client says
is 140 characters is 140 characters. If Twitter decides to change the
number of characters after posting, then that's their issue, it
shouldn't be the
Are there any plans to include include_entities to the search api as
we can't parse these unless it is included, and also means clients
can't show proper links when using the search api

Hi Taylor,
So is it correct to assume that my users will no longer be able to
advertise their webpage links through a direct appearance of that link
in their tweets (i.e. http://www.mygreatwebsite.com), because this new
initiative will always obfuscate the link within a t.co wrapper? In
fact, is
Oh, I know it... that's why a Sitemap.xml, ROBOTS.TXT and offering an
OEmbed endpoint on your sites is a really good idea. Seehttp://oembed.com/
for the use of the latter.
What's their business model? What do they sell to whom?
OEmbed.com is the place where the standard is spelled out...
I would love to see twitter include the original unwrapped url in a
key/value in the annotation field (else otherwise it's own specific
key/value in the payload).
There are loads of use cases for this: from search/discovery through
to reducing latency for twitter clients that want to show the
