What a Twitter Shortener Could Mean for Marketers

Twitter users learned on Thursday that the site will begin wrapping all links posted through the service with its own t.co domain. Twitter had been discussing this proposal on its blog, so the announcement is not surprising. Now that it is official, though, it is safe to start speculating on what it means to various users.

Complaints vs Video AdNets Rise as Buyers Pay for Ineffective Ads
