Twitter has re launch the automated link shortening feature. This service was dropped by twitter when it upgraded to the New Twitter. This feature will automatically be shortened any url when you add URL to your tweets. The new shortened url will take up only 19 characters.
According to Twitter, "We’ve been working on a bunch of features to make Twitter easier to use. Today, we’re releasing something that many of you have been asking for – automatic link shortening on Twitter.com. This service also increases security. If users click links that are reported as malicious, we direct them to a page that warns them".
How does it work?
~Start typing or paste a long URL into the Tweet box.
~After you’ve entered the first 13 characters of a URL, a message will appear at the bottom of the Tweet box, letting you know that the link will appear shortened.
~Notice that even if you’ve reached the character limit, you can continue to add text to the URL with no consequence.
~Once the Tweet is posted, it will be assigned a t.co link ID, but the link will appear as a shortened version of the original URL, so people who see your Tweet will know the site they are going to. Yep! It’s now that easy.
Just paste a link of any length into the Tweet box on Twitter.com. After you’ve composed your Tweet and you hit the “Tweet” button, Twitter will shorten the link so that it only takes up 19 characters. Twitter uses its own t.co shortening service, which it introduced more than a year ago. Twitter still allow you to use your preferred URL shortener services lik Bit.ly, Goo.gl or any of the other shorteners. One advantage of Twitter's automated service is that the original link is partially displayed, not the t.co URL, so anyone will still see where the link points to, if they use Twitter.com or the official apps.
Sharing links on Twitter.com is now simple and instant. Plus, since we show a shortened version of the original link, people will know which site the link points to. This service also increases security. If users click links that are reported as malicious, we direct them to a page that warns them. This new feature is aimed at those that haven't been using any link shortening service, making sure that they can take advantage of the convenience they offer even if they didn't realize this type of services existed or didn't know how they worked.
