It is neither Imagevue or Addthis that shortens your link I think. Twitter sometimes shortens links automatically, mostly when the link and text is longer than some value. I found some article on this here:

I am not sure if anyone else has any more information, but I think Twitter simply does this automatically.

Not sure if there is a way round this. They implemented this to stop scam and fishing attempts.
