Google turns goo.gl to make urls shorter

Posted by Divyun Raje Vaid On December - 24 - 2009

Google has announced on their official blog that they have launched a new updated versions of Google Toolbars and FeedBurner with the ability to offer its users with its new Url Shortner service, known as goo.gl.

goo.gl

Search engine, mail service, browser, operating systems, social networking etc. Well now there is a url shortening service to it. With so many url shorteners already available, there is always a difficulty to find a reliable one. But with goo.gl you will have a clear a choice as you know that google can be trusted. According to them (googleblog.blogspot.com), this service is suppose to be more

1. Stable:  ”Google’s scalable, multi-datacenter infrastructure provides great uptime and a reliable service to our users.”

2. Secure: “As we do with web search, shortened URLs are automatically checked to detect sites that may be malicious and warn users when the short URL resolves to such sites.”

3. Faster: “At Google we like fast products and we’ve worked hard to ensure this service is quick. We’ll continue to iterate and improve the speed of Google Url Shortener.”

Currently the service is just available with Google toolbar and FeedBurner, and not as a stand-alone service. I hope they’ll make it available for wider use soon.
