<div>I think the use of a link shortener is adequate for
Twitter. This is because they have a character limit, and
using a shortener greatly helps increase the amount of text
you can have in a tweet. Twitter counts your link's characters
even though it passes it through its own link gateway. <br>

This is incorrect -- try crafting a new tweet on twitter.com with
115 characters, then add a link with more that 25 characters -- it
will let you post it. All links on twitter go through the t.co link
shortener. <br>

<br>
Just wondering what people think about not using any link
shorteners on<br>
the official Fedora twitter feed. Twitter actually passes all
links in<br>
tweets through their own <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://t.co/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">t.co/</a>
link shortener, so using another one is<br>
just (IMHO) unnecessarily obfuscating the link from our
followers on<br>
twitter. (twitter presents all <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://t.co" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">t.co</a>
links as the full text, but the link<br>
itself is <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://t.co"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">t.co</a>)<br>
<br>
Looking back through the feed, the main link shortener being
used is<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ow.ly" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">ow.ly</a>, which i assume is being done by
whoever is using Hootsuite.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
