I’ve had the same experience as LMAshton except I’ve not had any interaction with Mr. King.
My bit.ly url is not being posted on Twitter from any of my blogs. This is a change from the previous behaviour. I have not changed anything on the three blogs within the time frame of the bit.ly failure using Twitter Tools. I can see it happening to several other folks in my Twitter stream as well.
I will gladly switch back to Twitter Tools once it functions for me again. For now, it’s been removed.
Thank you.
