Creating shortened links in messages
I receive tweets with very short links to web sites. I know Twitter will shorten my link if I post one that is over 30 characters. Does anyone know if I can create these shortened links for myself? (This would allow me to use my character allocation for message rather than link)
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Hi, I use tweetdeck, which means I can just check the box right below the text field, and it does it automatically. If you use the Twitter web interface, I think you still need to go to a different site, like tinyurl.com to enter the url you want shortened. Tinyurl is really easy to use, but there are other sites that will do the same thing. Hope this helps.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?bit.ly is another site that dramatically shortens urls for you. Generally shorter than tinyurl.com if you're really looking to conserve characters.
