Can I change shortener from TinyURL?
TinyURL, Twitter's default shortener, is blocked in Saudi Arabia. Any way to change your default shortener to something else, like is.gd?
I’m raging against the dying of the light.

Inappropriate?I manually enter links using http://tr.im instead of the 'built-in' tinyurl.com shortener.
Tr.im clearly provides a shorter URL length, offers customization of link redirect names, allows a direct-to-twitter submission, and for added convenience, there's even a Firefox extension to quickly tr.im a link.
Tr.im retains a list of all your submitted URLs and redirects, and also provides some analytics pertaining to activity observed for each link (e.g. number of clicks, national origin of links, most popular links over time, etc.) in both numerical and graph formats.
Further, they have an active and responsive Twitter presence (@trimurls).
True, they're not built-in to Twitter to be used by default when including URLs in a tweet, but I've found them to be an invaluable service.
I’m hopeful this will help!
