Human/machine readable format for titling links in Tweets

Summary

Give your Tweeted links titles by using the following format:

"This is my link title": http://example.org/

Raison d'être

Link titles enable us to add meaning to links. This is especially beneficial for shortened URLs which are even harder for people to decode than verbose ones.

This format degrades gracefully ie. it is human readable even in Twitter clients that don't support the format.

Enriching links in this way improves the Twitter experience.
