Twitter to launch its URL shortener, Amazon goes pro with Bit.Ly
URL shortener thing is really a big deal, thanks to the needs to the microblogging services, mobile phones and any kind of manual text-entry. It's "a renaissance in the age of Twitter," according to Danny Sullivan. URL shortening is a technique where a provider makes a web page available under a very short URL in addition to the original address.
Twitter has just announced that it will be launching its own URL shortener, while Amazon has launched it’s own shortened URL, amzn.to, powered by bit.ly’s new Pro service.
By the way, how useful of the URL shortener for you? Which shortening service did you use frequently?

If I need to shorten something it is to Twitter it, if not, to Delicious it - both are done with a shorcut
