They have cleverly arranged each of the Bitly functions under their own designated tab, enabling you to analyse specific data at your own pace and avoiding the possibility an information overload.īitly is so much more than a short link service provider.

You can invite your colleagues to help you curate the bundle and give them the opportunity to comment about the workshop or add supplementary information to the bundle, such as, the best transport links or good places to stay close to the venue.īitly also gives their users the opportunity to customise their newly created short link, for example, ‘bit.ly/f64Dj’ can be easily modified to read ‘bit.ly/yourchoice’, to give readers a flavour of what they are about to read. The bundle contains links to each workshop/event. You can create a bundle and call it ‘October Workshops’.

For example, imagine your organisation is running a series of workshops during the month of October. When you sign up to Bitly all your links are stored in an archive, enabling you to track and analyse their performance and organise them into bundles for sharing.

Twitter restricts you to 140 characters, ideally you should try to keep a tweet to 120 to allow others to retweet you, so you need all the room you can get.

As a Twitter user you should already be familiar with shortened URLs, and if you aren’t, this is where a long form webpage address is shortened and still gets directed to the right page.
