Talk:T.co

Merge with Twitter?
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, 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. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:08, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Support, no need of a separate article  Rahul  Choudhary  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)

t.co
In 2010, Twitter created a URL shortening service called t.co which is currently only available for links posted to Twitter and not available for general use. Eventually all links posted to Twitter will use a t.co wrapper. Twitter hopes that the service will be able to protect users from malicious sites, and will use it to track clicks on links within tweets.

Having previously used the services of third parties TinyURL and bit.ly, Twitter began experimenting with its own URL shortening service for direct messages in March 2010 using the twt.tl domain, before it purchased the t.co domain. The service is being tested on the main site using the accounts @TwitterAPI, @rsarver and @raffi.

On 2 September 2010 an email from Twitter to users said they would be expanding the roll-out of the service to users.
