I don't give a damn about bit.ly or t.co. I just want people to a) tweet with my own shortlink, and b) display the number of people using that shortlink. I'm not expecting twitter to workout that http://ldv.org.uk/20680 is a shortlink for http://www.libdemvoice.org/office-of-the-public-guardian-finally-starts-to-get-some-serious-public-scrutiny-20680.html I'm just expecting them to count the number of tweets with http://ldv.org.uk/20680 in them as per the spec.
