Why can’t twitter handle URLs?

It baffles me how Twitter, with all it’s brainpower can’t handle URLs properly. For example, highersites.co.uk wouldn’t appear as a link, nor would www.highersites.co.uk, and yet whilst typing this on my phone, the WordPress app asked if I wanted to make a link.

Nobody *ever* types the http:// unless they have to, and especially when that alone takes up 5% of the total tweet length.

And this Twitter URL thing makes the whole thing look even more ridiculous. I mean, why rewrite all of the domains, when the tweets become unreadable, especially if you want to refer to the domain name.

Does this annoy anybody else, or is it just me?

Writing from my iPhone 3G S

I still find it incredible that I am able to blog using my phone! This is my first iPhone and I am absolutely loving it so far.

In terms of apps, I am using WordPress, Evernote and Tweetie mainly – but if you have any other great apps you couldn’t live without then please do leave a comment
