HOW TO Auto-shorten Your Links For Better Buffer Analytics

4 comments Tweet Buffer
Here is just a quick update for you on some of the latest changes we have made to Buffer to make your life easier.
For a long time we have automatically shortened links when sharing from all of our browser extensions, as of today we have took shortening even further and links will now be shortened as you type in both the dashboard and browser extensions!
Of course, sometimes you don’t want links shortened – in this case just hit the toggle switch next to the post buttons, this will turn off auto-shortening until you toggle it back on again.

Upgraded Buffer Plans For All
July 2, 2011 2 comments Tweet Buffer
Here at Buffer, Joel and I changed quite a few things over the past few months. Recently, we decided to give all of our available plans an upgrade in order to match the value we think the product provides.
Sending tweets from anywhere on the web and having Buffer take care of the tweeting should now be even easier.
So here is what you get now:
Free plan
- We made adding your custom bit.ly details free. If you were paying just to get this feature and now the free plan is all you need, please get in touch and we will happily help you move to the Free plan.
- You can now turn off your Buffer for specific days.

Last week Joel and me had the fantastic opportunity to meet the people behind 3 amazing companies in London.
We had great chats, learned many lessons and thought about sharing them with you in a post and pics.
1# PeerIndex – More than just a score
Our day was off to a great start when we met up with @SimonCast in the PeerIndex’ offices in Old Street, London. Simon is the head of product at PeerIndex and discussed with us in which ways Buffer and PeerIndex might collaborate in the future.

We’ve talked before about why we think Twitter is awesome, and why we even think it can make you a better person. Today, I want to share with you why we are particularly thankful that Twitter exists.
If you’ve been following along with our progress for a while, you might know that it’s still fairly early days for us.

This is the first of an ongoing series of posts called Building Buffer where we share our methods and learnings with the aim to help people and learn from others who have had similar experiences. We’d love your comments.
Rewind…
I’ve learned more in the two and a half month period since I launched Buffer than ever before. I am very excited to let you know we now have over 500 users, many of whom are active, and we are generating revenue through our paid monthly plans at a conversion rate of around 4% of people upgrading. Let’s go back to the very beginning.
