Popularity of twitter is spawning support systems around it, latest in the line being short URLs.
We’re all familiar with TinyURL, but with only 140 character to work with there’s a need to shorten it as much as you can. Enter is.gd
BHC3 demonstrates via an example in his blog
Full URL: http://bhc3.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/friendfeed-rss-is-a-fantastic-discovery-tool/
- 82 characters
TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/6qhk4n
- 25 characters
is.gd: http://is.gd/7oc
- 16 characters
So there’s a pick-up of 9 characters via is.gd. Can be quite valuable on Twitter, eh?
