140it – Making Your Tweets Fit
140.it has possibly put a unique spin on Twitter usage and possibly fulfilled those wishes of tweeps who have a hard time making that 140 character limit. In a way it uses the same idea of short url websites, but it goes further than that.
Services that are provided:
- Reduces words
- Shortens URL with their own chosen short URL site called Unhub
Another feature, especially if you talk about certain companies, 140it shortens the company name and uses their StockTwits symbol.
Here is a video for those who are more visual and want to understand 140it better.

Please note that sometimes using this feature may not be in your best interest. You have to gauge your followers and their expectations of your tweets. Sometimes it might be great when tweeting with close friends and family, but dishing out valuable information on a serious note may not be conducive in influencing your followers. Also, when or if you use 140it, make sure to proof your tweet to make sure the shortened version makes sense and will be understandable.
What do you think about 140it? Have you tried it before? Or if you just learned about it – did you try it out and what did you think?
