Bit.ly
Bit.ly is a little like tinyurl.com but creates even shorter URLs. Nice.
bit.ly rose to prominence on the coattails of Twitter and shortened 20 million URLs last week. The New York-based start-up also recently raised US million from venture capitalists. So it’s pretty popular then.
Where would we be without these URL shorteners?

Twitter Search
Twitter Search looks a bit like Google Search and it’s just as easy to use. Twitter Search helps you filter all the real-time information coursing through its network.
You can track what everyone is saying about you, your favourite actors, brands, whatever you want. Oooh the possibilities…
