until they launch their API, no app can officially integrate their platform in their service.
and currently, a user has to manually create the link through goo.gl and then use it.
most people would use the supported link shortening service in their twitter client.
short links are rarely used on facebook as there is no character limit so long links work just fine.
i for one find the twitter bookmarklet very handy to tweet webpages i like. but that uses t.co short link service. twitter currently does not provide ANY analytics for t.co links you generate. they are likely to offer it as a paid service in the future. they might already be offering it to their partners.
to use goo.gl... there are two methods currently...
one is to use their dashboard to create the link manually! and copy it and then post it on twitter/facebook.
use a browser extension (this is what i use!).
however, goo.gl api would soon launch and i bet google would announce partners which would include all the popular twitter clients (if they are serious about it )
the aim is to take on bit.ly
bit.ly of course already provides a much better analytic platform for free! and the pro edition probably has tons of more features.
