I also like Tweetburner / Twurl because

1. It can cope with the # symbol (which TinyURL can't)

2. The short link is shorter (is.gd achieves even shorter links, though).

Extra slash in invite and activation URLs, breaks links

The invite and activate emails use an extra slash that break the links. So people have to go in and tweak the address bar to get access to your site. For example, the email says things like this:

http://tweetbots.com//signup

which won't work with the extra slash.

What about http://is.gd? Its worked for me... but I wonder how reliable it is.

I'd like to use my own short URL service, http://jive.to/, so the option to pick your own provider would be great!

I've tagged the two similar threads with "url shortening service" to make finding them easier in the future.

Oh, we had the same suggestion, although in my case I had suggested Tweetburner as an alternative.

Thanks for sharing the link to http://ri.ms -- I hadn't heard of that service before.

Add support for http://ri.ms URL shrinking

Please add support for URL shrinking via providers like rims:
http://ri.ms

Don't concentrate everything solely on tinyurl.
