Ooh ... shiny.

I just clicked on a link in a Twitter post. It was meant to go to http://shuffletime.com, but instead it took me to a Twitter error page, with the following URL in the location bar:

http://twitter.com/link_click_count?url=http%3A%2F%2Fshuffletime.com%2F&linkType=web&tweetId=0000000001&userId=00000001&authenticity_token=10faff63z984ffef870f2ca039234a808dffb33c

[I changed the tweetId, userId, and authenticity_token, just because.]

It seems to show some of Twitter’s insides. No surprise that they track information related to links. Probably helpful for the API. Seeing it is interesting, but not scary (another day, another Twitter bug).

This, on the other hand, is a little scary: London Bus with 16 CCTV cameras inside.
