You might as well send the secret URL by email but I am guessing that a tweet over 140 characters with the target company's URL at the end would not be picked up by the company. As an example if you search on Twitter for you'll see tweets containing amzn.to and bit.ly - yet they are all pointing towards the .uk site. I have to imagine that most companies run a search on social media for mentions of their own website (or name, which is usually IN their web address), which means they can monitor conversations that are about them without necessarily being to them (eg where their mention name isn't used). The only thing I can think of would be a situation where you want to share a link to a person's or company's website without alerting them, ie you're effectively cloaking the link, in stealth mode ) Since the truncation happens at the end people should still be able to click on your link or see the hashtag, even if they don't click on the tmi.me link to see the rest. If you want to use it then remember to put the URL of any websites you want to share, or any hashtags, right at the start of the tweet. Of course that does mean that if your tweet goes over 140 characters Echofon won't send it until you prune off a few characters (the only advantage of tmi + Echofon is that you can write a bit more) - but to be honest I think the risks of having half your tweet unread or mangled anyway probably offsets that. The obvious solution is to switch it off.

Plus in terms of usability it's a fairly colossal fail (not your fault though), costing the user time and effort to interact with your tweet in the way you intended.

Only a small percentage of followers will click on any given tweet and if they find they can't go any further with it (the relevant link isn't clickable) you'll lose those who can't be bothered or don't know how to tackle the unclickable link.
If you're trying to share a 'call to action' such as getting people to read an article or sign a petition you may find that you're sending out tweets that aren't effective. And it won't get picked up by anyone curating those tweets. If your tweet contained a hashtag at the end then that won't show up on Twitter, so people who are following the hashtag (but who aren't following you) won't even see it.

It thwarts your intended communication by hiding part of your tweet (which your follower will only see if they click) and, once they've accessed the full information they can't click on any link you've shared. Why is this truncation and link-wrecking such a big deal? That tweet would not show up in a search for all tweets with the hashtag, and in addition the tmi version of the tag isn't clickable (if it was it would 'work' as a tag and let the user click on it to see all tweets similarly tagged). In the second example, from you can see a hashtag that didn't appear in the original tweet, it's only seen when (if) the reader clicks on the tmi link. To copy text on an iPhone you need to press the text and let go, a selection tool will appear, use it to select the text and let go, an option to copy will appear, then you need to open Safari, paste it into the address bar and go - I don't think you can do this from within Echofon.

Website addresses aren't clickable (see first tweet above, from me) which isn't too much of a problem if you're on a PC / Mac (you can just select the text, open another browser tab, paste it in and view it).īut if you're on an iPhone it's mildly more fiddly. When this happens I invariably spot that some of my tweets are being sent via tmi.me (I presume it means too much information, a similar service is Twitlonger) and amend my settings to switch this off. Although I like it, it has the annoying tendency of randomly glitching every few weeks requiring me to log in again. I use the ad-supported (free) Echofon for iPhone for my on-the-move tweeting, and also occasionally from conferences and events (if I don't have my laptop with me). The longer version, with example tweets and pictures (b) include any URLs (and hashtags) at the start of your tweet, then they won't be the truncated bitsĢ. (a) go to Echofon's Menu » Settings » Longer Tweet (tmi.me) and set it to OFF or For people on mobile devices this is really fiddly. This sends out a truncated version of your tweet with a tmi.me link at the end that followers click on to reach a page with the full-length tweet.īut, if your full-length tweet also contains a link to a website then although the page shows the website's address it's not actually clickable - so your audience has to copy and paste it before reading the website you wanted to share. Echofon has a default setting that publishes any tweet longer than 140 characters via the tmi service (but without telling you that it's going to do this).
