- The result of this discussion was to Merge to Twitter. The info is already in place there. I'm redirecting to Twitter#t.co, which is anchored to the 'URL shortener' section there. -- Trevj (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm going to add some more references and info to this page to flesh it out a bit for now as the subject is notable, but I'm not sure if it merits its own page? Gavint0 (talk) 19:48, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support, no need its own page. TbhotchTalk C. 18:03, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support, I'm not even sure this deserves a section in the twitter article, let alone its own article. But yeah, merging seems fine to me. Rm999 (talk) 20:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support. Not enough content for a stand-alone page. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 09:08, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support, doesn't need it's own page. ForeverDusk (talk) 06:14, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support, no need of a separate article RahulChoudhary 06:51, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support, It's quite right to put it in a little section on the main Twitter wiki page, and redirect to there from here. I'll be happy to do it, if needed. JeevanJones (talk) 17:04, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support, no need for an article of its own. 89.146.10.196 (talk) 11:38, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Proposed merge text
[edit]t.co
[edit]In 2010, Twitter created a URL shortening service called t.co[1] which is currently only available for links posted to Twitter and not available for general use.[1] Eventually all links posted to Twitter will use a t.co wrapper.[2] Twitter hopes that the service will be able to protect users from malicious sites,[1] and will use it to track clicks on links within tweets.[1][3]
Having previously used the services of third parties TinyURL and bit.ly,[4] Twitter began experimenting with its own URL shortening service for direct messages in March 2010 using the twt.tl domain,[2] before it purchased the t.co domain. The service is being tested on the main site using the accounts @TwitterAPI, @rsarver and @raffi.[2]
On 2 September 2010 an email from Twitter to users said they would be expanding the roll-out of the service to users.[3]
