My recollection is that the character count question was discussed on  
this list, but I don't remember the number.

And in a related question, exactly how is this going to affect
character count?  Will it be based on the bit.ly URL, or the t.co URL?

[twitter-dev] t.co Rollout

2010-09-01 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
I just got an email from Twitter about oAuth and t.co. Given that I  
have about five accounts, I assume I will get more copies. ;-) Anyhow,  
in the section on t.co, there was this line:


"You will start seeing these links on certain accounts that have opted-in to
the service"

How does an "account" opt-in to t.co? Will there be a setting in the  
web app, similar to opting-in to locations? Will there be an API call,  
or will Twitter simply wrap all the links posted by an account that  
has opted in?


If I post a bit.ly link and Twitter wraps it via t.co, will the  
"unwrapped" display unwrap just the t.co piece, or will it go all the  
way down to the raw URL?
