Do shortening the links in Twitter contribute to SEO positively or negatively ?

It is a practicle method for sure. But is it also useful for SEO ?

Shortening the URL for twitter will save you valuable characters, especially when you want to describe the link.

If you are doing it for affiliate links then a shortened URL looks a lot better than an affiliate link. I can imagine a hand full of people get put off by affiliate links because the strange characters can make the link look kind of dodgy.

I would say a positive effect overall. I have even used Twitter and Twitter shortened the URL for me.

I can not see a negative effect really.

It is obviously practicle and as you mentioned letter-saving. I will keep on using it. Thanks
