App Review: Squeezer

With the craze of Twitter I’m surprised this type of application has just surfaced. If your familiar with Twitter, you know your tweets can only be so long. You can run into problems when your trying to tweet a web page however. Well a few companies stepped in and provided users with URL crunchers so to speak, giving us the ability to share pages without taking up needed characters in our tweets. On the iPhone it was a little more cumbersome in order to complete this task. Not with Squeezer, just copy the link from Safari, open up Squeezer and let the app generate a new compressed link for your tweeting or sharing needs. Squeezer uses a few of the most popular sources, most prominent is bit.ly. Included in the app is the ability to share it to Facebook, Twitter, Email and SMS from within the app. It’s an easy to use application that solves a nagging problem that some encounter. Squeezer solves it for me.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Extremely efficient and extremely simple to use.
Cons: Wish it used more services to provide links.
Overall: Really nice application. Anything to cut time from doing something is always a good thing. If if only a few seconds.
