Helpful tips - URL Shorteners

If you twitter, or just have a need to shorten up your url's when posting them online, you probably want to use a url shortener service. You don't have to pay, or download anything, and for the most part, you don't even have to sign up or log in unless you want an account to track your url's. No, all you have to do is plug in a url and click... and you'll receive a shortened url to save precious characters when you tweet.
