Goo.gl is a great help for me as i was facing difficulties in sharing long URLs with my friend.
It is good Now I am sharing URLs in easy way
Oh... that is great. yesterday was checked this tools. this will become very poerful in future. i really apreciate the work.......
It seems like this is only available for internal purposes onlyu. I would surely love to use this
cool site,
well done …….. good job man
Sound interesting, but is there no problems associated with this feature? I can see the pros, but there must be cons as well?
i see, so it to register our domain to google, right?
Looks great
This may be a handy tool, but I wonder if passing shortened links such as this might hurt one's credibility; especially if posted on a resource and users have never heard of this new option. A good resource I found on this is http://www.internetcredibility.org the last thing abyone with a presence wants to do is hurt their percieved credibility to its users
Oh! Thats Great. Great Tool Given by Google
Thanks for sharing too
At first, I though "cool!"... until I got to all the restrictions. I mean - only with the toolbar? Come on. Very cool that Firefox has the addon, though. Just another reason you gotta love FF!
Recently I read some where that Google is going to pannalize the websites which are having low loading speed. Googlge shortened utility is one of the steps to cover these problems. Longer url always tend to more time for loading a particular page. This tool will somehow boost the loading speed of the webpage. Using this tool will certainly help improving stability, security and speed issues.
It makes sense, Google is a compagny that collects data to sell ads. The more they collect data the best their ads are and the more money they make.
From my point of view, every new service or software they create is a good opportunity to collect even more data. Think of Google Chrome, public DNS, Gmail, Chrome OS and now their new URL shortener.
Yeah pretty basic reasoning but I think it's true.
When I was completing my professional degree in the computer sciences or later I read an article that all of our personal information is available to these companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft: Mean all the online companies giving us the facility to surf the web. What you think guys what is the benefit for these companies for having our personal information. What these people could do with our personal information? Yes they can make use of these information for both purpose for the negative purpose and also for the positive purpose. But afterall they are having our personal information.
Long URLs tend to slow loading time for the web pages. Its one of the nice effort made by the Google Team to shorten the length of the URLs, so that web pages could be loaded with the fine speed.
It's nice that google developed a URL shortener which has also other features aside from shortening URL's. This would help load pages from those URL's faster. Is this available on Firefox? Thank you for sharing this info.
This add-on is looking very effective. Its really a great tool from google. I am going to install this add-on. Thanks for sharing such a great info buddy.
Indeed great info, I think Google has start covering the web, started from Search Engine, then email etc.. now this URL Shorten service. WOW!
