Bug Description

When adding a link if it is too big it will fill completely the allowed number of characters avoiding it to be used. For example create a custom google map with certain information and try to share the link with sweetter, the url is greater than the maximum number of characters and then you can't post it.

This is why a method to enter urls in a format that only accounts the link text is convenient.

Maybe introducing a wiki format like this [url http://BigBigBigUrl] Name [/url] could help.

Another option can be adding a button to the interface that allows you to enter a url out of the text field and assign a reference name and then use that reference in your post like people does in mainling lists.
