Posting links in your status updates at Facebook or Twitter

I just thought I’d give you a short advice when it comes to posting links in your status update at Facebook or Twitter. I see that a lot of people are doing this, and in order for your friends to actually see them, I recommend that you use a service that will make your long url a lot shorter.

One service that I recommend for this is TinyURL, it’s completely free and your friends will see 100% of your url instead of just some parts of it.

This way it’s a lot easier for them to copy it and you can use the extra space to write a description about where they will be going if they decide to click the link.
