Question

I’m using twitteroauth from https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth like this:

 $Twitter = new TwitterOAuth(...);
 $Twitter->post('statuses/update', array('status' => 'click <a href="http://google.com">here</a>'));

Tweeted URLs are shown as plain text and not clickable. How do I post a real Link?

Answer 1

Have you tried posting the link with out the HTML markup and with http:// – posting http://www.google.com vs http://www.google.com, I’m using the same API and that seems to work for me, but creating the hyperlink as you would in HTML, doesn’t seem to work. And now that that I think of it, I don’t know that I’ve ever run across a hyperlink style link in Twitter or TweetDeck, just URL’s that are run through a shortener…
