Bit.ly is Harmful to Your Reputation?DC member App103 writes: If you tweet links on Twitter, retweet links from other people, or have a website in which someone might tweet a link to it, you are going to want to read this, because this can potentially affect any or all of us and harm our reputations. It started with me trying to promote DC a little, to a writer on TechCrunch, which lead to a discovery of how Bit.ly blacklists links shortened by other services, adding an interstitial page that calls the target site harmful, malware, a forgery, spam, and phishing. When the writer retweeted my link I sent to him, DC was flagged as a bad site, just because I choose to use a competing URL shortener and his twitter client automatically shortens all links with bit.ly (whether they need it or not). I contacted bit.ly about it, attempting to get the flag removed from the DC link, and their response and attitude were quite alarming. For the full story, read my blog post about the whole thing; http://cranialsoup.b...your-reputation.html |
