While building TweetSuite and researching ReTweets, I came across a need for a service that would capture all links on Twitter and expand them from their shortened version into the full URLs. I’ve written a service to do just that and an API to allow everybody access.
This is all very alpha! Which is why I’m not releasing it publicly yet. So don’t be surprised if it goes down or there are significant changes. If you’re using it (or plan to) please leave a comment below.
