[14:11] Prepared tweets in a shortlink basically. With heaps of tracking of course. [14:19] I'm having an /r/OfCourseThatsAThing moment here. [14:19] Yea, same here. [14:20] I don't know why people wouldn't just use https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=blah [14:21] You can append a + to the URL to get a straight redirect, by the way. [14:21] Huh, I tried that, but it didn't seem to work. [14:22] Returns a 302 with "Location: http://" if the URL doesn't exist, it seems. [14:22] Maybe you need to escape it from your shell or something. [14:23] C:\Users\Jens>curl -i "https://ctt.ec/55eH9+" [14:23] HTTP/1.1 200 OK [14:23] Hmm [14:24] Maybe it doesn't work for all URLs. [14:24] aRUIN is the one I tried, because I found that link in their "hot list". [14:24] Wait, actually, that's a different thing. [14:25] https://ctt.ec/aRUIN is for tweeting that message, https://ctt.ec/aRUIN+ is a redirect to some related page. [14:25] So it's also a normal shortener, not just a tweet message thingy. [14:26] Interesting. [14:27] And if the message just contains a link, it redirects to that link. [14:27] E.g. top examples on https://clicktotweet.com/hotlist [14:29] According to their FAQ, what happens is that they shorten any link within the message (except pic.twitter.com and bit.ly). [14:30] So... ctt.ec shortens links, which twitter then shortens again with t.co. The shortening rabbit hole goes deep. [14:33] Yeah, just found a t.co -> ctt.ec -> tinyurl.com -> target one. [14:34] Has science gone too far?
