spreading jam

Keeping to that 140 character limit on Twitter can be rather annoying when you have more than one thing to share. We often find that we need to put each link into a separate update, which can be inconvenient and leading to multiple updates and extra noise. This problem is about to be a thing of the past as the popular URL shortening service Bit.ly has added a great a new feature to solve this problem: bit.ly bundles . This great feature will allow users to collect multiple links (up to 100) on a single page that can be shared within a single link.

This feature can be used in a more intelligent way to create a resource based on thoughts on a topic or issue. For example this would be great for those wanting to share travel plans, sharing multiple links to hotels and destinations or those working on a research project to share several article links.

http://bridgeurl.com also offers the option to bundle links and creates a neat slide show, but Bit.ly goes beyond this function to offer more. It features rich media previews of pictures and videos, all powered by embed.ly and of course provides the useful click counts.
