Twitterlink

Twitterlink (app store link) enables you to send a shortened link to Twitter from your iPhone's Safari web-browser.

Have you ever been browsing the web on your phone, and felt the need to share something with your Twitter friends? Me too. That's why I wrote Twitterlink. By tapping a Safari bookmark, you can send a shortened link of the current page to Twitter. The URL is shortened to 17 characters leaving, you plenty of space to describe your find.

Twitterlink uses the "is.gd" URL shortening service simply because you get between 3 to 6 characters advantage over others such as tinyurl.com, rubyurl.com, and short.ie.

Note that Twitterlink is write-only: it is intended to be complementary, not a competitor, to Twitter clients like Twitterrific.

Configuration

Click on the info button to flip to the configuration form. Fill in your Twitter username and password. Tap "Add bookmarklet to Safari"; this will launch Safari and take you to instructions on adding the "Tweet with Twitterlink" bookmark.

Using Twitterlink

Browse the web with Safari and find a page that you just have to share. Tap the "Tweet with Twitterlink bookmark": this will launch Twitterlink.

Wait for the short url to load. Share you thoughts on your link, and tap send.
