You may shorten URLs using unfake.it URL Shortener right inside your TweetDeck application. This is how to do so:
- Open TweetDeck’s preferences
- Choose Services
- Switch URL shortening service (usually bit.ly) to Other
- Type
http://unfake.it/?a=api&url=%@
in the field beside that pulldown menu - Hit Save Settings
- Enjoy!
Long URLs, typed into TweetDeck’s “What’s happening?” box, will now be shortened immediately using unfake.it.
