Click Share, then click Twitter

This is what you get:

"http://ch9.ms/8 Bill Hill - There is only one space after a period"

 

That will not go over well.

Infact that link, even pasted in a web browser does not work.

That link works fine for me as well...  that post happens to be entry #8, so it has a very small URL needed to get to it.

 

Did that link fail for you?

If you're going to enable sharing links on Twitter, you should use a URL shortening service via an API like bit.ly's:

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...

They are using their own URL shortening service? Isn't http://ch9.ms/8 short enough for you?

 

Btw, I think the OP was under the impression that the text after the link is supposed to be part of the URL, which is isn't. The link is just http://ch9.ms/8, and it works fine.
