I am not sure what you mean. http://www.twitturly.com redirects you to http://twitturly.com. It always has. If you are not being redirected, then your computer has something weird going on with it.

This is by design for multiple reasons, first is to prevent canonical domain issues with the search engines. They can hit you with a duplicate content penalty if they think that you have two different pages serving the same content. In fact most search engines recommend that you setup your domain so that it either forces the www version or it forces the non-www version. Twitturly’s content updates so often this is required for us.

Additionally, the www is no longer a required designation and is wasted characters. See http://no-www.org – Twitturly is a “Class B”.

Finally, if twitter does it, why shouldn’t we.

We are working on that. The problem is that there are so many different titles for essentially the same content, we are looking for something more powerful.

If you know how to make it more powerful and want to help out and make a little cash out of it, see our blog post here: http://twitturl...ving-away-1000/

We filter for that. It would only be counted once. We have dozens of algorithms that are in use to see if we should count a tweet as a vote or not.

Twitturly is very aggressive on this front, and will remain so.

@Michael, thanks for the write-up. I am glad that you like the service.

Okay, it doesn’t have “twit” or “tweet” in the domain name, but it *does* also tag all the URLs that are slurped from the twittersphere too, so you can look for all the URLs for a specific subject
– for example http://memegato...ch&tag=true
