The huge growth of ( @Twitter ) made it one of the most successful online services ever, with millions of users including celebrities, politicians, musicians, tech geeks, CEOs and the list goes on and on.

With its huge success, developers all over the world started creating apps and services that relies completely on Twitter’s API. Services will make your Twitter experience better and more fun.

Being a Twitter user/fan I always look for these services, and if it sucks, I can get rid of it with a simple click.

In this post I want to share with you some of theses apps and services.

This post is the first of a series posts about Twitter services.

140 it

This service will help shrink your post into 140 characters -which the maximum number of characters you can use in Twitter- with a simple click.

140it shrinks your twitter messages down to 140 characters by:

• Reducing words, removing extra spaces
• Shrinking URL’s with unhub
• Exchanging company names with their StockTwits symbol

Twitlonger

Since Twitter will only allow 140 characters to posted on your tweet -as mentioned above- this service will give you the ability to write more without creating a blog post.

With Twitlonger, you can write what you need and a link to what you said will automatically be posted to your Twitter account. It’s like twitpic for text.
