How To Share Google Docs on Twitter

In my previous post I discussed about sharing files on Twitter through third party sites. Here we will see how to share Google Docs on Twitter.

You Need
  1. Google Docs
  2. Bit.ly
  3. Twitter
Create the required document on Google Docs. Publish it as web page. Google will give you a URL of the published document. Copy the URL and Shorten it with Bit.ly ( Sample link to try http://bit.ly/4df8Hf ).  A smarter thing to do is get the Bit.ly Button, as it makes the task Much easier.
Copy the shortened URL. Open Twitter and paste. There you go ! If you have an account on Bit.ly linked to Twitter the you can post it from Bit.ly without leaving the page.
