Does anyone know if there is a similar url encoder for Facebook status?

For any people still stumbling across this:
For newer twitter accounts, twitter must have the ‘home’ removed from the URL

http://twitter.com/?status=

Seems to be backwards compatible, but God knows where the Twitter folks documented this change…

If you’re not already logged into Twitter when you click on the link, it redirects you to the log-in page, and the tweet is lost. Anyone know if there’s a way to make it so the tweet shows up in your box AFTER you log in?

I spent hours trying to figure this out. I knew that I had everything in place.

Just so everyone knows who is doing this, if you have “www.” in your line, then it will keep the %20 when the page opens. I took it out and everything works perfectly.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the tip! I’d love to see how you can directly submit it.
