Twitter box can't handle links

[halfempty]

They're too long:

@gehalber asks:

What are the obstacles with this? Could we tell Nick he can only use tiny urls and then you won’t have to debug it?

I don't know if that's very realistic. Tweets happen from all over the place, and of all sorts of things, and I doubt any prohibition would last very long.

It does look like Twitter imposes a limit (the ellipsis). Could we bring the font size down to ensure that number of characters fits on a line?

@gehalber How about this for a quick fix?

We simply hide the content of the link, and replace it with "(link)"?

Nice! Could you do “Click here”?
