I've been using Hootsuite for more than a year now. Regardless of the URL I paste in the composition box it is shortened on the server-side and consumes ~25 characters of the tweet. See attached showing 117 characters remaining with the URL for this thread pasted in.

AFAIK Twitter now manages link shortening, regardless of the client/API interface, using t.co links. What is displayed in the UI is not necessarily what the underlying URL in the tweet is.
