URL shorteners are pretty much a requirement of using Twitter. Rather than sharing bulky links that eat away at your 140 character count, you can share 20 character, bite-sized shortened links that allow for commenting and retweeting.

Bitly was (and still is, but for how long is debatable) the go-to URL shortener for the vast majority of Twitter users.
