why URL shortner does not work in Facebook application ? - Dr.geek - 03-24-2014 10:14 AM
when i press a shortend URL through my facebook application it tells me "the page you request cannot be display right now" , although the page is working when using a PC browser to open it.
i need to use an URL shortner in my notes in Facebook but like this the mobile user cant view my shortend link

the url for a PC is different for a mobile. to explain here is a long expansion of a URL :
https://www.google.com/search?q=short+&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS555US555&oq=short+&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61j0l4.1765j0j9&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8
here is the short version for pc : http://goo.gl/Eg4DeA
and here is the url for phone: http://bit.ly/1d8Cjyl
you'll see the difference
Hope this helps

why are you trying to use a URL shortner? there is no need for that on facebook unless you are trying to create a phishing page, which is illegal

You Do Not Need a URL Shortner And Thats Not Going to Work you Can Only Use a Regular URL
in Addition Shorten URLS May Not Work On Mobile Versus the Computer It May Work on the Computer But it Wont Work On Mobile
