You know. I don’t like those bit.ly urls. I like to be able to hover on a link and see where it goes before I click. I know. I’m weak. Why can’t I take a chance. I’m falling behind. Also, did you know that those hyperlinks are rel nofollow links? Hmmm.

Jeez, I didn’t even realize there was a way to leave comments on these tweet posts. You sure are persistent.

I think there is a way to make the bit.ly links show the full URL in the title or alt of the link, and then you just have to hover to see. I’m not sure why it’s not working on my site.

Incidentally, if you don’t like bit.ly, what’s your recommendation for an upgrade? The shorteners are a necessary evil for twitter.

Sorry, I have no recommendation.
