At last, the circle is complete
My twitter search RSS feed (yes, I have one, so shoot me) for "apenwarr" returned a hit today in which the only usage of the word "apenwarr" was an URL hidden behind a bit.ly link.
Oh yes. That means twitter search is now decoding bit.ly URLs as part of the indexing process, but of course it *still* serves you the original stupid bit.ly links.
Thank you, oh great technology gods, for inventing new uses for excess CPU that I never could have imagined.
In other news, SEOs can now increase the keyword relevance of their twitter links; just have bit.ly resolve to something like http://whatever.com/stuff?magic-keywords=fuzzy-wuzzy-chickens-multiplied-by-gargantuan-apple-google-flash-ipad-porn-naked
