But your server can cat a little slow sometimes, I re read the article and saw that App Engine was no good. Have you tought of AppJet ? (http://appjet.com/) This could be an good example of Javascript on both sides with their awesome service. I'll try it sometime, if I find the time...

If you just use it for Twitter, that would be a more efficient way to go. This way it works for everything (including GWT). The server side also does recursive gets to clear through multiple redirects. Cheers, Dion @Dan Brook,

But I've bit changed it. Long links (for ex - links to google maps) broke twitter design, so I've replaced: newtext = newtext.replace(originalurl, resulturl, "g"); with: newtext = newtext.replace("href=\""+originalurl, "href=\""+resulturl, "g"); newtext = newtext.replace(originalurl, resulturl.length > 30 ? resulturl.substr(0,30)+"..." : resulturl, "g"); Now it's better. Hope this will be usefull for somebody. Good script, ty. But I’ve bit changed it. Long links (for ex – links to google maps) broke twitter design, so I’ve replaced:

newtext = newtext.replace(originalurl, resulturl.length > 30 ? resulturl.substr(0,30)+”…” : resulturl, “g”);

It's a good thing GreaseMonkey provides GM_xmlhttpRequest to get around such a blocker then: http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_xmlhttpRequest :) “I would love to be able to just use XMLHttpRequest to dynamically hit the URL and look at the headers, but the same-origin policy stops me.”

Only, I would have called it "rick unrolled" :D. json-time: Yes, we need more json services, security risks notwithstanding. Time is one I recently looked into while writing a clock gadget, since as we all know, JS doesn't really do much with timezones. Good work. Only, I would have called it “rick unrolled” :D.
