      But with Twitter automatically shortening URLs, it isn’t too much of a problem.

      Hey guys wanted to update you on the Retweet.com button;

      - We have added tracking to the Retweet.
      - We have added our RT.nu URL shortener.
      - The button also goes grey after you’ve clicked it.

      More updates always coming, thanks for the coverage! :)
