Tweet Pure Links Lucio מאת

What's it?

Have you ever wanted to open Twitter or TweetDeck and navigate thru your timeline without dealing with the Twitter URL shorten system? Now you can with this Firefox Add-on that modifies the URLs on the fly.

Why would it be helpful?

The default limitation of Twitter is when a link needs to be shared.

Use case

1. Navigating through Twitter's timeline there's a Tweet regarding an interesting article
2. You want to share it with your peeps
3. Copy the link and go to your message app
4. Past the link and whoa la, it's an awful link looking something like http://t.co/Imp051b13T0R3ad

Usual workaround

1. Open the link at your browser
2. Wait a bit until the source of the article loads
3. Now copy this URL and paste it back to the messaging app

By using Twee Pure Link, the URL present on the initial Tweet would represent the final URL.
Making it easier to just copy and paste it wherever you want without the need of workarounds.
