Sometimes you try to make tweets which are a bit higher in number of characters than what they should be limited to. i.e. you exceed the 140-character limit.
The most popular URL shortening services too sometimes fail to make the tweet smaller due to your few extra characters, so there is 140it.com!
The service 140it shrinks a little bigger tweet into 140 characters by -
- Reducing words, removing extra spaces
- Shrinking URL’s with bit.ly
- Exchanging company names with their StockTwits symbol
And you don’t have to go to the website always to make your tweet smaller. Its just a small bookmarklet button that you have to drag to your browser toolbar, and anytime your tweet is already longer, you just would have to click on the button. It will try to shrink using the above methods said.
140it is a very easy and nice service, for those whose blog post stories have lengthy titles and also need to have the link to the post, within the same tweet.
