Is possible to send URLs with "#" selector to Twitter ?
In other terms, can I generate a short url pointing to a specific section in my webpage ?
I've tried to pass the url but Twitter interpret what is after "#" selector as a twitter user.
I've also tried to use tinyurl.com APIs to generate a short URL for each section of y webpage, but it ignores "#" appended to urls...
thanks

You can use URL shortener like bquot.com, which allows linking to specific page section.
Enter the hash mark as "%23" in the URL for URL-shortening services and Twitter.
Example:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign%23Computing
# is a special character in the Twitter world indicating a topic name so putting a # in a URL will cause issues and unintended results as twitter software will interpret that as a hash tag and try to hyperlink it to search results containing that tag. As mentioned above you'll want to use a URL shortener to work around this as it will obviously not have a # in the URL but instead redirect to the proper URL with the # included.
Like bit.ly/fafQa9 goes to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign#Computing? If you can’t do it directly through Twitter then I guess you’ll have to go via a URL shortening service and paste the link in.
