To the joy of millions of Twitter users, Twitter has released an automatic link shortening facility.

A major grouse against Twitter has been the 140 character limit that makes it impossible to post a full web link.

Users had to use link-shortening sites like bit.ly. Twitter client users were luckier as popular clients such as TweetDeck always had an in-built link shortened.

The new in-built twitter link shortener uses only 19 characters instead of the standard 20 characters, which also works as an advantage for Twitter users.
