    Just received my Codeproject Daily News and saw the "Follow us on Twitter" link. Looks good. So I click the Follow us on Twitter http://tinyurl.com/clm933 and get the "Error: Unable to find site's URL to redirect to." page while using my new IE8. Been there before. Let's try Chrome - same thing. How about a couple more tinyurls - no joy. I don't think I'm a ludite, but I'm always the last to know. Any comments? Google offers a few clues.

      Yes - you should be using HugeUrl[^] instead.

        Far more irritating than that, is this: http://twitter.com/codeproject[^] X|

              I'll check the URL again ... should redirect to twitter.com/thecodeproject. Thanks. Updated: feed mechanism (third party, not us) is not properly shortening URLs. Attempting to fix. For now, the URL above is what you wanted anyway.

                    They can only type 140 characters before their tiny paws cramp.
