SkyDrive URLs are now reduced by 40% so that they fit inside a Tweet. As for Facebook, SkyDrive now has OpenGraph support so that URLs can turn into nice thumbnail previews once pasted into places like Facebook. On top of that, SkyDrive has also formed a partnership with bitley to feature a new domain name for the shortened service, called sdrv.ms
