Many use Twitter to see what is happening with friends, follow the news, talking about daily situations and post cool links. The problem is that the links are huge, which occupies many characters of the message. The solution that rocked last year were the link shortening as bit.ly. Now, Twitter has announced its shortener URL.
Twitter has an automatic shortening of URLs How so? The annoying to shorten a URL was the need to access another site. Now, we can directly insert the correct URL that Twitter turns into a short URL.
Thus, we can shoot the tweets faster. Also, when you hover over the shortened URL, we know what the original address. This is a very important whether, as many hackers and spammers were using shortened URLs to hide sites harmful to users.
Another additional feature, also focused on security, is to check if the URL is not on a blacklist. What allows the Twitter alert the user about the dangerous link. This same functionality is already used in Google's services.
The disadvantage of this service is that it does not provide full details of access, as is done by bit.ly. But for the common user, it is very handy for sending URLs Further details of the service can be found on the Twitter site.
