When posting to Twitter from "Be Social", is the URL supposed to be shortened? For my posts eg. http://twitter.com/pgpd/status/6468679748 the link is not shortened.

    Hey Pavan, twitter should automatically shrink those URLs for you (us). Let me try a few test posts and see if they're having issues with their URL shortener.

    Scotticus: Thanks for looking into this. I tested again this morning and I still have the same issue http://twitter.com/pgpd/status/6495931877.

    Yeah, they are having an issue right now. I posted ten test tweets, and out of those, 4 had the URL shortened, and 6 had long URLs. I opened up a support ticket with them to make sure they're aware of it. I'll update you here when they confirm it's fixed.
