Bug Description
I recieved a tweet that had a bit.ly link in it... The link was shortened by a few characters ( ... ) but when clicking on the link in gwibber... It sent me to the shortened address.
Here is the tweet as viewed at twitter.com:
NHL Devils
N.J. Devil is the only @NHL mascot left in ESPN's Mascot Madness - please RT and vote if you love hockey. http://
But viewed in gwibber the end of the link was shortened to http://
Which took me to apple.com.

Could it have happened when copy and pasted on the blog? (not sure if
that is a person or a bot type thing)
