Not sure if this is actually related to the LongURL API UA I just posted about. But it did follow immediately on the heels of that UA and took the same exact file. Chat Catcher claims, amongst other things, to decode shortened URLs, which is exactly what LongURL API does. BTW, the URL in the UA is not valid. To see the site just start at the root.

Since I've been promoting a few sites via Twitter, I've noticed several new UAs hitting: Chat Catcher, Twitturly, LongURL API, assorted RSS utilities and the respective abbreviated URL service referrers. Users can read tweets, blogs, facebook, et al using a variety of tools.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense because I have recently started using Twitter to make mid-week announcements related to my browser project.
