Can't they just extract the entire original message for redisplay out of a shorter URL like this: "hey check this out: http://bit.ly/anKad ?

That link ... http://twitter.com/jonpierce/status/3293845360 ... is easy for any client (and twitter) to grep.

Any idea why I would get docked for a comment like this? I thought this might be a solution that required the least amount of work with the greatest possible functionality. I'm not knocking the dock, I'd just like feedback for future posting etiquette. Thanks!
