Use of Link shorteners on Twitter

Hi all, Just wondering what people think about not using any link shorteners on the official Fedora twitter feed. Twitter actually passes all links in tweets through their own t.co/ link shortener, so using another one is just (IMHO) unnecessarily obfuscating the link from our followers on twitter. (twitter presents all t.co links as the full text, but the link itself is t.co) Looking back through the feed, the main link shortener being used is ow.ly, which i assume is being done by whoever is using Hootsuite. cheers, ryanlerch
