Just started with twitter.com....

It is being flooded by BBC News instant messages, for example:


"BBC News Former Ethiopian ruler Mengistu Haile Mariam is sentenced to life in prison on genocide charges. http://tinyurl.com/ybqlts

Why is the BBC using a (commercial) third party to make a short URL? And then giving them (tinyurl.com) free advertising?
