Tweetl.com - Short and Sweet URLs for Twitter

Twitter’s oodles of fun, but, it’s got some kinks which, to the web intrepid and tech geeks, are beyond bothersome. One of these grievances happens to pertain to those super long, unmanageable URLs dished out by Twitter for posting your tweets; so much for light comm. Some users simply take a longer route, using Twitter plus a URL shortening service such as TinyURL. This however, is cumbersome. So Tweetl was developed. It’s made specifically for cutting down Tweet URLs into something more comestible. Tweetl isn’t just practical though, it’s got some fun stuff tucked under its shirtsleeves too. For instance with Tweetl Preview you can get a glimpse of any Tweetl URL by entering preview.tweetl.com/[id]; with Tweetl Wander you can wander the web using Tweetl URLs. There’s also a handy Tweetl bookmarklet.

“Welcome to Tweet'l - The URL shortener built for Twitter! To begin, simply enter any long URL, and we'll make it shorter! To take full advantage of Tweet'l, you should already have a Twitter account. It's not required... But it sure does make things more fun!”

Tweetl is a sensible little tool which for the hoards of Twitter users will prove very practical. Besides that it’s got some interesting goodies to play around with. Simple yet efficient.

What’s Tweetl marketing plan? How will it get the word out, so that Twitter users can actually take advantage of it? Is this really a tool that will catch on?
