Twitter is a place where the brevity of posts matters. So the short links will stand you in good stead when you need
to save characters for writing a tweet.

To improve your links sharing through Twitter, Short.io launched integration with Zapier. It sends short links into your timeline automatically.

Once you shorten a link in Short.io, Zapier posts it to your Twitter account with the original title or any additional
information you specified.

You don't need to send a link to Twitter by hands each time you shorten a new one.
