Not necessarily Twitter, but a way to keep a link from wrapping into two or
more lines when sending it.
If you notice, a lot of newspapers use shortened URL's as well.
If I recall, if you highlight the link and look on the bottom (status line)
in your virtual window, it should translate the link to the normal site.
I try to always look at shortened links before I click on them to make sure
I'm not being taken to some site that might have malware or something.

Hey.
I have known about this for a while but never used it, and to be honest,
never really understood the purpose. Maybe I'm weird but when I see people
post links like this I always get kind of annoyed that I can't immediately
read the actual URL before going to the link. Is there a purpose to this
beyond some vague aesthetics? Something to do with a character limit for
posting, say on Twitter? Just chiming in out of curiosity mostly.

Hi.
Paste the original link into the edit field at http://bit.ly. It'll spit
out
a shortened link you can copy and distribute, and when the recipients
click
on the shortened link it goes to the original URL. Is this what you're
asking?
