ctt.ec, some click-to-tweet malarkey. |
14:11

|
Jens |
Prepared tweets in a shortlink basically. With heaps of tracking of course. |

I'm having an /r/OfCourseThatsAThing moment here. |

|
Jens |
Yea, same here. |

|
Jens |
I don't know why people wouldn't just use https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=blah |
14:21

|
JAA |
You can append a + to the URL to get a straight redirect, by the way. |
14:21
🔗
|
Jens |
Huh, I tried that, but it didn't seem to work. |
14:22
🔗
|
JAA |
Returns a 302 with "Location: http://" if the URL doesn't exist, it seems. |
14:22
🔗
|
JAA |
Maybe you need to escape it from your shell or something. |

Hmm |

Maybe it doesn't work for all URLs. |

aRUIN is the one I tried, because I found that link in their "hot list". |
14:24
🔗
|
JAA |
Wait, actually, that's a different thing. |
14:25
🔗
|
JAA |
https://ctt.ec/aRUIN is for tweeting that message, https://ctt.ec/aRUIN+ is a redirect to some related page. |
14:25
🔗
|
JAA |
So it's also a normal shortener, not just a tweet message thingy. |
14:26
🔗
|
Jens |
Interesting. |
14:27
🔗
|
JAA |
And if the message just contains a link, it redirects to that link. |
14:27
🔗
|
JAA |
E.g. top examples on https://clicktotweet.com/hotlist |
14:29
🔗
|
JAA |
According to their FAQ, what happens is that they shorten any link within the message (except pic.twitter.com and bit.ly). |
14:30
🔗
|
Jens |
So... ctt.ec shortens links, which twitter then shortens again with t.co. The shortening rabbit hole goes deep. |
14:33
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, just found a t.co -> ctt.ec -> tinyurl.com -> target one. |
