URL Shortening for Twitter Folks

I just joined Twitter. I do have a blog to convey my thoughts but sometimes, all i want to leave is a line or 2. I don't need a dedicated blog post for that. So, I joined the micro-blogging Twitter wave finally. Now i logged in to twitter to leave the below 2 liner.

A class in a school was asked, "Whom you want to be ?". One of them said, I Want to be a T V : Read Why: http://san-the-scribbler.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-want-to-be-tv.html

Now the problem is, i exceeded the 140 character limit by 40 ! "Ouch.....Idiot..This is not a blogger compose menu to elaborate essays", i told myself...

Have you exceeded like this before ? Especially when you are leaving a Link/URL that occupies most of your message ? Don't worry. There are FREE URL Shortening services available. One of the best team in the business is bit.ly.

You can go to this website, enter the actual URL and they will shorten it for you in less than 10-12 characters and see your tweet qualifying for the 140-char deadline !
