This is incorrect -- try crafting a new tweet on twitter.com with 115 characters, then add a link with more that 25 characters -- it will let you post it. All links on twitter go through the t.co link shortener.Hi Ryan,
I think the use of a link shortener is adequate for Twitter. This is because they have a character limit, and using a shortener greatly helps increase the amount of text you can have in a tweet. Twitter counts your link's characters even though it passes it through its own link gateway.

Hi all,
Just wondering what people think about not using any link shorteners on
the official Fedora twitter feed. Twitter actually passes all links in
tweets through their own t.co/ link shortener, so using another one is
just (IMHO) unnecessarily obfuscating the link from our followers on
twitter. (twitter presents all t.co links as the full text, but the link
itself is t.co)
Looking back through the feed, the main link shortener being used is
ow.ly, which i assume is being done by whoever is using Hootsuite.
cheers,
