goo.gl is an awesome URL shortener that integrates nicely with the Google Chrome Web Browser. Which URL shortener do use/prefer?

I used to use bit.ly and is.gd but found I prefer goo.gl

I also use the goo.gl url shortner on chrome, an excellent little extension.

Good to see someone else is enjoying the juiciness of goo.gl :p

I use firefox. So I can't use it. ;)

Thanks! I am going to use this! :P

EDIT: But then again, I hardly need to shorten my urls. :P

Nevermind, sorry.

if I type 'ub' in the address bar it takes me to the CC on UF by default after the site's been cached :guitar:

You can use a bookmarklet to get goo.gl urls in other browsers.

Just save this link (javascript:window.googl_callback%20=%20function(r esponse){if(response.error_message){alert("%20An%20error%20occured:%20"%20+%20response.error_message);}else{alert(respons e.short_url);}};%20var%20s%20=%20document.createEl ement("script");%20s.src%20=%20"http://ggl-shortener.appspot.com/?url="%20+%20encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)%20 +%20"&jsonp=googl_callback";%20void(document.body.appendChild(s));) as a bookmark and click it when you need to goo.gl the page you're at.

nvm,forum anti-xss code messed up the link... Just save this code as a boomark:

javascript:window.googl_callback%20=%20function(re sponse){if(response.error_message){alert("%20An%20error%20occured:%20"%20+%20response.error_message);}else{alert(respons e.short_url);}};%20var%20s%20=%20document.createEl ement("script");%20s.src%20=%20"http://ggl-shortener.appspot.com/?url="%20+%20encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)%20 +%20"&jsonp=googl_callback";%20void(document.body.appendChild(s));

I use:

1. "Ctrl+L", then "Home"

2. Add bit.ly/ in front of the current URL

3. Press "Return/Enter".

4. "Click to Copy".

Clicking shortened links is a really bad practice.

Clicking shortened links is a really bad practice.
That's what URL expanders are for:
