Twitter is the world-famous micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as “tweets”. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). So what exactly are most people doing when they “tweet”?They are micro attention sharing (better known as MAS) of course. MAS empowers users to update others of your latest blog post or something funny and entertaining you found on the web. But also serves as a great way to spread the word about a good cause, for us saving the planet.
Furthermore, Twitter has a built in function to use tinyurl.com to shrink URLs to keep it under 140 characters. It’s *like* using del.icio.us to share, but it’s instant, and you wouldn’t drop 100 links on someone in Twitter in a given day. So you don’t have to worry about annoying your followers by posting those long URL’s anymore – the answer is TinyURL!
TinyURL is a web service that provides short aliases for redirection of long URLs. You can also use it outside of Twitter.
