What is the use of URL Shortner ?

Shortened links allow you to share long URLs in a Tweet while maintaining the maximum number of characters for your message.

Having a link shortener is used to better protect users from malicious sites that engage in spreading malware, phishing attacks, and other harmful activity. A link converted by Twitter’s link service is checked against a list of potentially dangerous sites. Users are warned with the error message below when clicking on potentially harmful URLs.


These link link services measures information such as how many times a link has been clicked, which is an important quality signal in determining how relevant and interesting each Tweet is when compared to similar Tweets.

How to use t.co ?

Type or paste a URL into the Tweet box on Twitter.com.

    As you begin entering a URL, a message will appear at the bottom of the Tweet box letting you know that the link will appear shortened.

Any length of URL will be altered to 19 characters. Your character count will reflect this.
    Click "Tweet" to post your message and URL.

    Once a Tweet is posted, URLs will be assigned a t.co link ID but may appear as a shortened version of the original URL as shown below. Again, you cannot opt out of link shortening on Twitter.

what are the differences between t.co and goo.gl and bit.ly ?

Links shared on Twitter.com will automatically be shortened to a http://t.co link.


The link service at http://t.co is only used on links posted on Twitter.com and is not available as a general shortening service on other apps or sites.

URLs converted by Twitter’s link service are checked against a list of potentially dangerous sites, and when there’s a match, users will be warned before they continue.

But where as bit.ly and goo.gl can use anywhere.
