title: Difference between Twitter intent & Twitter share URLs
body: <p>I've been having some character encoding problems with twitter's text query string parameter.</p>
  
  <p>a) <a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http://www.example.com&amp;text=touch%C3%A9" rel="noreferrer">http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http://www.example.com&amp;text=touché</a> </p>
  
  <p>b) <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url=http://www.example.com&amp;text=touch%C3%A9" rel="noreferrer">http://twitter.com/share?url=http://www.example.com&amp;text=touché</a> </p>
  
  <p>a) seems to do extra encoding and the tweet comes out wrong</p>
  
  <p>b) see lack of www works fine. </p>
  
  <p>These both redirect to :<br>
      <a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=touch%C3%A9&amp;url=http://www.example.com" rel="noreferrer">http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=touch%C3%A9&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there a point in using <a href="http://twitter.com/share" rel="noreferrer">http://twitter.com/share</a> rather than simply just: <a href="http://twitter.com/intent" rel="noreferrer">http://twitter.com/intent</a></p>
