See? We're all thankful that you have that engineering job on the side - oh, the things we learn from you, Bill! LOL
Thanks for the heads-up! I seriously didn't know this. Great catch!

Good thought. Most systems do not like any link shortners.
Liz and Bill Spear what happens with those shortners in Hootsuite & Friends+Me? Have you ever had those blocked.

Liz and Bill Spear - thanks for heads up. I usually use both - short links as well as full URL when I share my posts on different platforms.

I don't typically put them in posts, but I do use them in social media. We'll have to test tomorrow to see you can access it.

I don't use shortlinks and I don't click on them. Mainly because I'm not sure where they really do go and don't want to open up something that might mess up my phone or computer.

Is that true for all short URLs or the AR ones?
(The good news is that this is a non issue for me on FB and Pinterest). It's only on hootsuite scheduling (for Tw/LI/G+). But, I still share manually at least 1 on all of those.

Bill,
That is exactly why I stopped using them many, many years ago. I had learned about that, and we both stopped using them. A

Good heads up.
But, understanding what the cost to the enterprise could be to a nefarious link makes this action necessary.
That is all it takes, one spoofed email with a reassigned link to install ransom-ware.

Make it SEF worthwhile, keep it spelling out what it links too...URL handling is tricky beyond avoiding dreaded 404's needing 301 redirects. Don't lessen their precision. Good point you make Liz and Bill Spear !

Definitely makes sense here. What are readers doing reading real estate blogs on company time.

Since you've told me this I've stopped using the short URL link. Thanks for spreading the word.

Thanks. Most of these web filtering devices can be bypassed by going to the secure version of the website (at least they used to be with default configurations). Google's secure the web initiative may have bollocksed that up though.

Good tip. I do not click on short links due to security risks. If I do accidentally, my internet security software will scan the website for malware.

I do not use them ... however it is good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

I do use the short url for Facebook posts and assume folks are not accessing FB from their job locations.
