Does it? The documentation I've read doesn't suggest this, unless you're including Twitter's own wrapping of links with its own shortURL t.co

When I type in a URL, the character counter doesn't go down as I extend the URL. So there is no upside to doing it for me.

Weird, that doesn't happen for me.
