Why is the BBC using a (commercial) third party to make a short URL?

That's my "fault"... but twitter limits messages to 160 characters
overall (so alerts work via SMS), and I wanted to provide a URL with
the headlines. The original BBC URLs are way too long. If someone
can suggest a better alternative I'm all ears :-)
