In our team chat, we’ve speculated the “Not Found” errors we’ve seen may be related to how Tweetbot generates Twitter URLs when you hit “Copy Link to Tweet”: instead of using status in the URL slug, it uses statuses, which seems to be the reason behind erroneous redirecting on mobile devices.
But on the iPhone and iPad, it can become annoying: there’s a limit of 8 Safari tabs on the iPhone, you get yanked out of Messages, and, most of the time, URLs just don’t work. When you’re on a Mac, clicking on a Twitter link will open a new browser tab, which doesn’t really bother us as we’re used to opening background tabs on our computers. URLs, though, aren’t the best way to jump back to a tweet, especially when you’re on a mobile device. Linking back to tweets has, in a way, become our favorite type of commentary for fun, news-hunting, and everything in between. We find some cool piece of information or news on Twitter, we share it with the team.
It’s not perfect for us, its reliability is far from 100%, but it works.Īs we keep using iMessage every day, there’s one category of “media” we’re constantly sharing: Twitter URLs. We’ve tried many “communication services” over the years, yet, since last Fall, we’ve always come back to Apple’s solution. I communicate with my team through iMessage.
