I suggest you ...

Make it so ow.ly links embed videos in Tweets like other short links do for YouTube video links.

It would be great if you make it so ow.ly links embed videos in Tweets like other short links do for YouTube video links. At present we use ow.ly links for most shared links, but often copy/past over the short YouTuble url to ensure the video appears embedded on the individual tweets. This would be a great added bit of functionality.

    Currently, you can watch videos by clicking the “+” button beside a link. However, we’ll further examine embedded media.

        Yes, for those who view Twitter though HootSuite they can see the "+" and view media. However, for the majority of users who view Tweets on Twitter web, ow.ly links do not display media. I know I can see media while in HootSuite. My feedback is aimed at making the ow.ly links more friendly for our followers who use the web to read their feed.
