This was the major point I was thinking of mentioning. Personally, I 
feel like link shorteners are only necessary if they're being utilized 
to collect statistics and metrics. Judging by the context of this 
thread, do we know who has the keys to the Hootsuite? I feel like social 
media engagement statistics are something that could be an invaluable 
resource to gauging which of our social media posts are effective and 
which ones aren't as engaged.

If this *is* already happening, then the above paragraph can be 
disregarded. In the case that statistics and metrics are being tracked, 
I personally vote to abstain from using link shorteners except where 
information about engagements and interactions are actually being utilized.
