Neat idea, just put it on my site. We don't get a ton of tweets (kind of the wrong audience) but it would be interesting to see. The only thing I'd suggest is a way to add them to follow us on twitter as well...

Great! We'll look into that

We are thinking about support custom urls. Ex: you assign the subdomain a.your_domain.com to us, we use that in the tweets. Would you pay $2 / month for this?

Yes. I would like to be able to use our own short URL, but twitter doesn't allow this by default ( I'm sure it can be built).

Yeah, its impossible to stop Twitter's t.co. The strangest part is that it only gets applied some of the time.

It's very unclear whether that's a .LT or a .IT - Might be worth looking for a new URL.

We've also had other problems with our lithuanian domain registrar. We do not recommend .LT

What problems did you encounter? I own .lt domain purchased via french registrar without trouble.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

1) (note this could be all wrong, but this is what we were told) You can't transfer registrar to outside of Lithuania 2) No Lithuanian registrar offers naked http redirects (ie: wil.lt/x -> www.wil.lt/x). Hence the www. on all of our links...

We are setting up forwarding the naked domain to a static IP that will do the http forwarding

(forgive me if I butchered the dns speak. not my domain haha)
