For Affiliates: Social Media Marketing Guide from Amazon (You DO get paid for Twitter Links)
A controversial story came out in July about the fact that Amazon had supposedly refused to pay an affiliate his commission on affiliate links placed on Twitter and there was some speculation that using URL shorteners with Amazon could also be a problem.
The original story came from Search Engine Journal
No Precedence For Social Media - Amazon Hangs Us Out To Dry
There was a post about it here at the Warrior Forum too.

Today Amazon clarifies their stance on social marketing, twitter marketing and URL shorteners, saying they are all fine to use, if used within Amazon's guidelines.
The piece was written as a GUIDE to social media marketing for affiliates and Amazon lays out the ground rules that they assume will also be acceptable for most other affiliate programs, although you should always check each program's TOS.
Here it is from SearchEngine Journal:
