redir.ec "Tweet this" feature

If you don’t have Wordpress but want to use “Tweet this” anyway, read the following instruction:

redir.ec provides an easy and quick feature to transfer links with text to Twitter. You just need to implement the following links on your site:

Link example:


        http://redir.ec/_api/twitter/status?text=Your+Text&url=http://example.org/blog/article-about-jelly.html

As soon as you call up the URL, the inquiry is forwarded to redir.ec and the URL is shortened. Then the whole inquiry (now with the shortened URL) is forwarded to Twitter.

Forwarding to Twitter status update:


        http://twitter.com/home/?status=Your+Text+http://redir.ec/thDM

Now the Twitter user just has to send ("tweet") the message.
