In this post, I am introducing a link shortener service that is not paying and is widely in use. As we share and post on social media sites, long URLs can not be shared you know it very well (through mobile messaging and comments reply), if you find something interesting or funny without wasting a second including some words you will go to share it through your most favorite social sites.
What is a link shortener?
When I first encountered this word, it was in my mind why these tools are available online but now I can understand how small things/tools help us so much.
See the word Link Shortener, it’s a tool that creates a short link from a long ugly-looking link. You need to enter a long URL and tag if available or the program will create a random tag. Here link is from goo.gl and the oy0BGl tag is created randomly http://goo.gl/oy0BGl. Some sites allow you to generate custom tags so you can set your own.
There are hundreds of services to make an easy short link but all are not well-known you can find them by search engine or friends posts in social comments. Twitter and LinkedIn have their own service but you can not use the Twitter service if you are not a registered, member. Short links can be shared through SMS and Twitter (microblogs where 140-160 characters are allowed per post). As people always see the earning side: Get paying link shortener service
An example of goo.gl
