The first solution is no fix but a workaround.

But I don't mind, I don't need bit.ly if other things do the same job as well.
Well I hope soo, first I had this mod installed:

Unfortunately it's not working anymore. I don't know if he used rss feeds or something to post on twitter, but text was going in there.
You can see at
http://www.twitter.com/Satellitefun if you look at tweets from June 9th and older.
Unfortunately then Twitter changed the api and almost nothing worked anymore.
It was just the first 2 lines from a messages, and then the short url to the complete thread.
I'm no coder but if that mod could do that, it couldn't be that hard could it?
