Usability Issue: URL shortening
It would be great if the URLs could be shortened automatically when you paste them into the text field. Otherwise at the moment you paste a long URL and the text field gets disabled - you can't type anything more and neither you can publish the text....
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?You may want to try using Lizzer (http://lizzer.com) to automatically shorten the URLs you post into Twitter. Lizzer is a free bookmarklet tool that works with that lets you easily search and find a wide array of content (images, youtube videos,images from flickr account, Delicious links, docstoc docs, etc. etc.) and then easily insert them into your email or blog. Hope this helps! -
Inappropriate?The filed is not disabled any more.
I think it should only shorten URLs that are 30+ or shorten them via a special button. -
Inappropriate?You could also try TweetDeck, the desktop Twitter program. It has a box where you can enter your URL, choose your shortener website and click shorten. It will also insert your shortened URL into your tweet.
