arminize me: The New Way Of Tweeding Links
Sharing links with micro blogging services gets easier with arm.in, a new free tool for shrinking & tweeding long urls.
Munich, Germany (PRWEB) January 15, 2009 -- Users of micro blogging services like twitter and identi.ca or social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn or XING know it: Sharing links with their followers & friends can get tricky when the url is simply exceeding the allowed message size.
