They are tiny url links. Basically there are websites out there that you put a huge link into and it creates a small url that redirects to the larger one.
Probably done because the smaller link is quicker to read/type on twitter.
But it can also be used to hide malicious websites...

Can't sleep, clown will eat me.
The bit.ly website is specifically sponsored by Twitter, so that site is safe if you want to post links in your tweets.

FireFox has a plugin that lets you preview where bit.ly links lead.
