    Links to tool pages in Tweets

    It would be great to have a link to the tool's page included along with the picture in the individual tool tweets.

    I know you are fighting a character limit. Dare I suggest replacing the hashtag in the tweets with a link to the tool library page?!

    Good call. We currently link to listings in our BikeBuilds.net tweets: https://twitter.com/bikebuildsnet . I don't recall if we were previously adding links in the HomemadeTools.net tweets, and removed them, or if we never did. I've entered this issue in our code repository so that we can make the adjustment.

    I must admit I discovered twitter yesterday with this post.
    Maybe Jon I'm one of these traffic contributors.

    Actually, I've not yet understood the benefit of twitter (for me), compared to the rss feed I've also been using intensively since a few weeks.
    Cheers !

    If you're technically savvy enough to use RSS feeds, then that's probably the best way to consume content from this site and many others.

    The twitter links seem to be broken...

    They look like this

    Good catch. I just added this as a bug to our code repository issue list.

    I recently went through the backlog of all described links, and set them to be automatically scheduled. My guess is it has something to do with that.
