Bit.ly is an URL shortening service. It converts very long URLs into short URLs. Twitter has a 140 character limit for each post so this can be very useful when trying to fit more information into your twitter posts. You can leave this parameter blank and the full URLs will be used however, if you enter valid bit.ly details then your URLs will be automatically shortened.
Bit.ly is a free service and you can quickly create an account here.
Bit.ly API Key
Once you have created your bit.ly account and logged in, you can get your API key from this page.
Post on new video
Here you can specify if you wish to post a Twitter update when a new video is posted.

- The text [[SITENAME]] will be replaced with the name of your website.
- The text [[VIDEONAME]] will be replaced with the name of the video.
- The text [[URL]] will be replaced with the URL to your video. If you have entered valid bit.ly credentials then this will be a shortened URL.
