It would be nice to have these features for short links. 1. ability to use just t.co/shorturl or x.co/shorturl or bit.ly/ shorturl WITHOUT requiring www. or http:// prefix 2. add a mouse hover over the short to show the real destination of the short link.
Please note that when New Twitter arrived, x.co/xyz was automatically detected as a URL link for two weeks but abruptly stopped working, forcing use of http:// or www. prefix to be prepended again. Short links, especially vanity links look so much better without the web prefix.
