I’ve been a big fan of Bit.ly. The added utility it provides to link shortening is unmatched. It makes tinyurl.com look like the url shortener of simpletons. Using Bit.ly conveys that you are tech-savvy to a certain degree. But what if you want the benefits of Bit.ly, without looking pretentious? Use biturlly. It’s a simple tool I developed last week that takes a long url, shortens it through Bit.ly, then shortens the Bit.ly link through tinyurl. You’ll get the click tracking of Bit.ly with the humility of tinyurl.
