New Democratic Underground URL shortener: DEMU.GRThis discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group). It works on any Democratic Underground URL. Just change "democraticunderground.com" to "demu.gr" and leave the rest of the URL the same. Whenever someone visits a demu.gr page, our software recognizes the short URL and automatically swaps in the full democraticunderground.com address. Check it out: http://demu.gr And here are links to two discussion threads: http://demu.gr/1002965677 In addition, the "Tweet" button on every DU thread has been programmed to automatically place the shortened URL into your tweet. We will be integrating this URL shortening functionality into other DU features in the future.

21. I kind of wished they'd used Bouvet Island
It's on the drop-down box for "home country" on websites all over the world, even though no one actually lives there.

19. No longer funding Uganda ?
2. I appreciate the thought, but why are we giving money to Uganda?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10131751#post2 Why don't we fund the US ? I say let the EU bail out the Greeks. |

10. As to the other one -
How about parking an explanation there about why .ug is not being used. As long as DU owns it until May-ish next year, why not let it do some educating.

12. Thanks. Now regarding the other stuff that shows up automatically when tweeting ...
When ever I send out a tweet from DU - I always have to edit out the words 'Democratic Underground' that show up there automatically (still do) because that takes up too many characters and I need all that I can get for the tweet and all the extra hash-tags that I add. In my opinion the words 'Democratic Underground' doesn't need to be included in the tweet because when someone clicks on the link in my tweeted out tweet they will see that they end up here at DU. I hope I explained that clearly enough ![]() ![]() |

15. You can edit your tweet before you send it.
Just delete the text you don't want.

16. Better late than never.
At least we now know that the straight Democrats have not been paying one shred of attention to this human rights crisis. That's good to know.
