Shorten The URLs
Adding a link or long URL when using Twitter will be annoying as Twitter only allow you to post your update up to 140 characters.
If you are a TweetDeck user, you will notice that a number of URL shortening services can be selected from the drop down list through the Settings panel. Simply add the original URL to the “Shorten URL” box and click on “Shorten URL” button. The new generated URL will be inserted to the Tweet box. Cool?
Here are some of the simple URL shortening services which reduce the length of the original URL.
Example of the long URL shortened by using bit.ly:-
Original URL http://www.justbloglah.com/twitter-badges-and-twitter-buttons-for-your-blog/
After http://bit.ly/1upNmR
With these services, you can reduce the length of URL tremendously.
Which services do you like most? Let me know.
