Hash tagging and Twitter Tools (1 post)

    Alex,

    I have launched a new service at Twiij.com, which uses the Twitter API to post from a web form to my followers on Twitter.

    When a user submits a form entry, it posts to Twitter correctly, but Twitter Tools does not handle the form submission in the same way.

    If you go to Twiij.com, you'll see what I'm talking about.

    An example Tweet is:

    "#genre #type #artist #title #bit.ly URL

    The only entry that should be a link is the bit.ly URL.

    In Twitter tools, after the "#" tag in, for example, #artist, the first name of the artist will publish as a link, but the last name will not.

    For example, #Led Zeppelin. The "Led" will be a link, but Zepplin will not. I don't want it to be linked at all, because it's not pointing anywhere. Seems it's Twitter Tools is using the "#untilendofthisword" to add a link.

    The only one I want to come up as a link is #bit.ly URL. Currently, the URL displays as not linked.

    Any ideas?
