If my macbook pro is on my desk, is it ok to have it plugged in all the time? Will this shorten the battery life when it is unplugged?

I noticed after having it plugged in for some time that my battery life was shortened while unplugged (only about 2 hours compared to 4).

Should I always be running on battery until dead?

I know all about calibrating the battery and such, but I don't understand why the battery life was so shortened.
