When creating a Twitter profile I noticed that all URLs I entered in the profile where changed from:http://www.abzurb.com to abzurb.com and it uses a t.co link to link to the page. https://twitter.com/abzurbOn most other Twitter profiles it just displays the full URL: http://www.blabla.comIs there any way to change this?
URL in Twitter profile
twitter
Twitter wraps all URLs, in part of their content - bio, profile, tweets using their in-house URL shortener, primarily for their analytics & for security against malicious URLs.Now on twitter's webpage as well on their API, twitter provides both the short URL, the the display URL as well as the actual URLHere's an example from my twitter profile id: 11594372,  id_str: 11594372,  name: Sathya,  screen_name: SathyaBhat,  location: Bangalore, India,  description: Super User & Web Apps Stack Exchange , PLSQL Dev, Mangalorean, Rum, Beer, @Preshit certified lazyass, LOLG Nexus 4, Gaming http://t.co/fZDbzJdc,  url: http://sathyabh.at,  entities:  {    url:  {      urls:  [         {          url: http://sathyabh.at,          expanded_url: null,          indices:  [            0,            18          ]        }      ]    },    description:  {      urls:  [         {          url: http://t.co/fZDbzJdc,          expanded_url: http://sbhat.me,          display_url: sbhat.me,          indices:  [            124,            144          ]        }      ]    }  },You can see that display_url is what twitter shows on their websites. Many twitter clients do not handle these well; some show expanded_url, others display_url while some more just show the shortened t.co URL.While this is the explanation for why it looks different, there's no way to change this - that's how twitter does things.
