Twitter started rejecting some reposts that contain Bit.ly shortened link(s)

Twitter started rejecting some reposts that contain Bit.ly shortened link(s)

Twitter rejects those statuses with error message "Status contains malware."

This problem also happened few months ago and they were able to fix it rather quickly so for the time being I suggest everybody with this problem to switch link shortenerr for Twitter accounts from Bit.ly to fplus.me.

We'll keep monitoring the situation.

UPDATE: Problem seems to be solved, 8 hours straight without a single error.

    I don't know what is causing it your apps been there longer than the problem. But if they have started having issues with links that could be it

    The more I look at it though I think it's just twitter. They tell me to reset my password but reject any password I give.

    I may just take plan b and create a new account.

    They experience technical problem from time to time. New account may fix your problem.

    Weird. Have Twitter mentioned anything about this publicly? I haven't experienced the issue myself.

    Not a word, they almost never do. We've had the same problem about 8 months ago. They've fixed it within a few hours back then. It's taking them longer today.

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as...
