For SEO purposes, it might make more sense to tweet a path alias rather than "http://example.com/node/123" so that you aren't publishing duplicate content.

Version 2.0-dev appears to explicitly create a non-aliased link. Is there a reason for this, other than length?

Here are a couple of patches... if this even makes sense to change :)

Version 2.0: twitter2-0-386220-1.patch.txt
Version 2.0-dev: twitter2-Dev-386220-1.patch.txt

Sorry to post both in one issue!! Please let me know if this is bad.

Patch for 2.0 may still be applicable?

Ugh. Totally missed the tokens in the URL Formatting String.

Sorry :)

Can this somehow be backported to D5? ...really want this feature.

An alternative to this patch is to change the weight of the twitter module in the database as discussed here: http://drupal.org/node/242108

I did this myself and it works great. I ran the following mysql query in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE system SET weight=3 WHERE name='twitter'

(Back up your database first of course - just in case of any typos, etc)

Drupal 5 is not maintenance any more, If this issue occurs in any version for Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 reopen this issue.
