Google Blog: Making URLs shorter for Google Toolbar and FeedBurner
ReplyDeleteInteresting article that accompanies the chart in your link. I never knew there were so many of these services out there - I've always just used tinyurl.
ReplyDeleteI didn't flesh out this post (I guess I really rarely do!) last night because I was so tired.
ReplyDeleteBut I think this is really big! Google is doing it! All others now have compete with the 800 lb gorilla.
The first URL shortener that I knew of and used for a long time was TinyURL which goes back to Jan 2002 and has a Minnesota connection:
Kevin Gilbertson: "Gilbertson, known by friends as "Gilby," lives in Blaine, Minnesota, near Minneapolis. He learned about computers from his father, a software developer, with whom he also rides unicycles as part of the Twin Cities Unicycle Club". Here's his personal website: www.gilby.com
More for those interested: URL Shorteners: Which Shortening Service Should You Use?
ReplyDeleteExplains the Mega chart (like the first column that was not clear to me) and much more. Who knew that bit.ly is a domain name of Libya?
It cracks me up that TinyURL is at a disadvantage because their name isn't short enough! I'm sure Kevin didn't anticipate twitter usage when he first created it.
ReplyDeleteThis would be fun to try .... nest URL's one URL shortener to another. Stack like 10 of them together and see what happens when you click the 10th
