Many Twitter users have been demanding this new service. After the user has composed the Tweet and hits the “Tweet” button, it will automatically shorten the link so that it only takes up 19 characters, meaning that one needs not to be concerned about fitting it within the 140 character limit.
This makes sharing links simple and instant. The feature also helps to increase security as users will now be directed to a special warning page should they click on a link that has already been reported as malicious.
Twitter says that the new link-shortening feature will be rolled out gradually, initially being made available to a small percentage of users. It will soon become available for everyone.
A lot has been happening in Twitter lately as it continues to drive in more services.
Twitter recently paid for the TweetDeck and then there was the introduction of a “Follow” button. After that, it rolled out a new photo sharing tool and now it introduced the automatically shorten links.
