Shortening Your URLs
Filed in archive General by Greg Cruey on April 19, 2009
Twitter has made it almost impossible to face life without a URL shortener at your disposal. Tinyurl is by far the most popular of the shortening services, but there are other choices. And competition in the market niche is heating up.

Search Engine Land did a piece recently on how to decide which URL shortener is for you. The piece gives a comparison chart on 15 different sites that will shorten your URLs for you. The article is exhaustive in its look at the issues involved in using URL shorteners. And it looks at SEO issues as well as functionality.
