Sometimes we simply can't squeeze every word we would like to convey in a single tweet, all thanks to Twitter's 140-character limit. But you can't blame the micro-blogging service.
Originally, Twitter had no character limit and several issues were aroused. For example, users tend to compose tweets of over 160 characters (the default SMS carrier limit). As a result, they were split into multiple posts which didn’t look too good. To resolve the issue, Biz Stone & Co. then decided on implementing the 140-character limit, whereby 20 characters are reserved for your username.
So if you're looking for ways to shorten your tweets, I've compiled a list of "5 Clever Tools To Shorten Your Tweet". They will come in handy when necessary.
