Direct link from Twitter

I thought there is no way you can get a direct link from twitter page.
Here what I just found:
http://twitter.com/sthlmtjejer
can anybody explain why is that? Usually the link is shortened like through TinyURL or similar services.

Thanks!

 

I think the links are usually just shortened so they don't go over the 140 character maximum...

If your post is short then you can easily just use the full URL.

 

Yeah, that is pretty much the reasoning! I deep-link my pages, so the URL's are longer, so Twitter automatically shortens them!

 

If you want to short your url at the time of tweeting the install Tweet Deck. It will short your url and you will get more space for your tweet.

 

U dont need to shorten linka

 

if its too long it will shorten it

 

Do Twitter use any Short Link Website to do Short Links or they do have own for that ?

 

10 on ten. This is the way for direct link.

 

Twitter's URL shortner - http://t.co

 

a link from twitter is similar to social bookmarking or pinging your website

 

i agree with SEOSharpShooter

 

i also recommend tweet deck

 

twitter has always shortened any long aff links that I have inserted...

 

Is that not a twitter user id? I feel that is an id of some twitter user as it always comes as twitter.com/------ Inside the twitter, we can be able to submit the shorten links to submit.

 

if link is big it will be shortened

 

use tweetdeck otherwise change your large url in short url . Use this site to do that (tinyurl.com)

 

to maximize the characters in the post we use shorten URLs. thats it.......

 

I always shorten them first myself. I use bit.ly so then I can track where the clicks are coming from.
