Twittips: getting those addresses in shape

Another good thing about twitter is that the tweets have a character limit of 140. Thanks to that we don’t have to read full page write ups on how people are feeling and what they are doing. The 140 character limit also made it difficult to have complete URLs (web addresses) in the tweet message.

To counter this many services are available online to take your long URLS and convert them to a short one. And usually the length of the URL is under twenty characters. And this gives a lot of space for the user to comfortably describe what the address is all about.

Among the varied list of services we use two of them which are the best. The websites are bit.ly and the tinyurl. On either of the websites all you need to do is paste your complete web address in the provided box and click on the button to shorten it. You will be given a shorter web address which you can use wherever you want in your tweet message or in your email.

Example of shortening a URL is the link http://bit.ly/bf7Tf5 which refers to one of our popular posts at journeyidea.com. There are over a hundred and thirty URL shortening websites to help you tweet better.

Twitter helps you read updates of the person you are following and spread your word to all those who are following you. While users find it convenient to follow their icons, family and friends, businesses have soon woken up to the growing prospect of this micro blogging site. It is great way to promote new products and services and for consumers to connect with their favorite brands.

The site in a short span of time has evolved from a micro blogging site to a hugely popular social platform. The web site has been very instrumental in giving the users the pulse on every kind of news to global events.
