I have an rss feed added from google news. When I share this using twitter or facebook, a short url (Eg: http://tinyurl.com/7ombpxn) is generated. But when clicked, this url shows an invalid url error from google. Other RSS feeds that I take from blogs or sites directly do not produce this error.

Are there some settings that I am missing? When shared on twitter, the tinyurl points a t.co url which in turn points to a google url.

The page where 'invalid error' is displayed works when I replace amp; with '&'.

A similar issue seems to be mentioned here http://drupal.org/node/955820 for version 6.x 1.1

The below two changes helped me

1) In this file profiles\managingnews\modules\custom\simpleshare\simpleshare.module
Add this line
$url = htmlspecialchars_decode($url);

just before
$api = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url={$url}";

2)In this file profiles\managingnews\modules\custom\simpleshare\views\simpleshare_handler_field_link.inc

Add this line
$url = htmlspecialchars_decode($url);

after
$url = strip_tags($url);
