Twitter – Why is Twitter not accepting the short url that does not contain .co

twitter

Why is Twitter not accepting my short url that does not contain .co? the url in question is vote4thame.uk, It works in search engines but doesn't display as a link on Twitter.

Best Answer

Seeing as the URL is primarily a redirect URL, you may wish to just post the final link it directs to as it will be shortened by the t.co shortener.

Also I was able to post a .uk url just fine, so it isn't directly correlated to just .uk domains.

Example URL I used: www.nominet.uk

I was also able to post the URL you provided just fine as well, so perhaps Twitter was rejecting your tweet as spam?

It is doing it just fine - after you post it. You can tell by seeing that the left over character count does not reflect the length of the full URL.
