Shorten a link using TinyURL

When using twitter you are only able to use 140 characters. This is a pretty small amount so you have to be precise with what you want to say. However, if you wish to include a link to website you will have to sacrifice some of your characters to link. If we were linking to our blog "http://www.killertechconsultants.blogspot.com" we would only be left with 95 characters to actually write a message. This is where tinyurl.com comes in. Take your link and either type or paste the address into the textbox in the middle of the home screen and voila, your 45 character link is now shrunk to 21 characters about half of the original size. Apps for mobile "tweeting" allow you to compress your links within the different applications, but the "tweeting" from the web does not allow this option, or I haven't seen it yet. It would definetely be nice to see.
