If you are twitter user then here is good news for you, now Twitter has launched its own URL shortener t.co ,The new service, currently being tested internally, will be available for all users later this summer.

Twitter will automatically shorten, or, as it says, “wrap” all links automatically, whether you are tweeting from the company’s website, or using a third-party client.

If you want to continue to use bit.ly or other third-party shorteners, they will be “wrapped” as well by t.co.

Shortened links will displayed differently depending on what client you are using, however. Using the website, or a desktop client means you will see the full link, or at least an excerpt. Those getting SMS notifications will only see the shortened link. Best of all, only the amount of characters in the shortened link go against your 140, despite the full link being shown to others.
