Thoughts?
Will you be using Goo.gl?
Here’s one perspective:
The company claims that its shortener boasts stability, security and speed. The former two are especially important as several other services have been plagued by both downtime and malicious parties masking deceptive links. Goo.gl features automatic spam detection, and “near 100% uptime since our initial launch,” according to the company’s announcement.
The product also comes with expected URL-tracking features. As a goo.gl user, you can log in to your Google account to view URL history, traffic sources, referrers and visitor profiles for countries, browsers and platforms
The thread is yours. Will you be using it?

Tom Jamieson says
definitely worth a look
Chris Loach says
I will be using it for sure. It took Google long enough to do it but it looks likes it will be the best with the tracking features.
James Brooks says
I will be using it, especially for the stats. However I WISH that they would offer a service to use your own short domain with their infrastructure like http://awe.sm do.
BOOM!
Stephen Bateman says
It’s hard to beat Hootsuite’s inline shortening feature.
Trevor Taylor says
Yes. I am going to check it out. Right now I use Hootsuite for shortening. Want a more universal resource.
Chris Huff says
Definitely worth a look. Not sure we really need another url shortener, but I guess more options are never a bad thing.
David Knapp says
I have been using it for a few weeks now. Google claims speeds and you guys claim this is favored by Google so this is reason enough for me to use it
but
It’s Google. Other url shorteners may go out of business and I don’t really see this happening with Google.
PhillipGibb says
Think it is great when you have a lot of clicks that you can evaluate.
I like the pattern on the right – I still think it may make a great feature on a business card.
Tyler says
Yeah I’ll definitely be trying it once I get time to set up all the tracking stuff and once other 3rd party apps allow me to log into that shortening account.
