Google URL Shortner has been Opened Now to Public

[smith09]

Hi Members,

It's really a great news that Google URL Shortner is now open back to the public and now you are free to shorten your UURL from there.

I love this and as Google says that - Google needed a url shortener for its own products where we knew the shortener wouldn’t go away. He also wanted a shortener that he knew would do things the right way (e.g. 301/permanent redirects), and that would be fast, stable, and secure.

Initially it was launched for the Google on things like the Google Toolbar and Feedburner. But after complete satisfaction, it has been opened now to the public.

This is great! Thanks, I will use it starting today. Specially when I am twitting or posting something on my wall. I never thought that they will have this kind. I will utilize it with my Pacquiao vs. Margarito blog.

Hi Yonsal,
Url shortener is really beneficial to seo point of view to escape text size space because many social networking sites like twitter, identi.ca are provided limited text (almost 140 characters) so url shortener are useful to post them.
