Performance of a Paid Tweet

I was considering buying paid tweets through your service and ultimately decided against it. You shouldn't be forcing your own URL shortener on paid tweet placements. If I don't care for your click reporting, I should be able to opt out of it.

We can help with that. What benefit do you see to having t.co shorten your links instead of us? :) A redirect is a redirect, no?

t.co is Twitter's native shortener, so if anyone's parsing Twitter's data they will support it. Yours - not so much, e.g. see squarecat's comment on how your domain is blacklisted by his content filtering firewall.

we're not opposed to letting folks opt-out of our click tracking. i've added this idea to a bucket within the queue for new ideas.
