  I actually used to use the short bit.ly links, but stopped because

  is incorrect: Twitter has its own link shortener (t.co), which it forces on 
you, and so every link counts as exactly 23 characters, regardless of its 
actual length. It’s pointless to use an URL shortener on Twitter; all it does 
is unnecessarily hide the link content.
  
  (Example: the full link in this tweet 
<https://twitter.com/WikidataFacts/status/734481717621362693> is 2354 
characters long, but because only the short t.co URL counts, it still fits in 
one tweet.
