Everyone has their favorite little utilities, especially when it comes to taking long gangly links and shortening them for Twitter and other social apps. I like SnipURL.com best because it has a great cross-browser bookmarks bar button that converts links on-click (gotta love javascript). Here’s what else it does:
- it seems faster than TinyURL (although as of today I noticed 500,000+ snips, and their total is 28 million so they are getting lots of traffic suddenly too with the popularity of Twitter)
- it has tracking and management of snips
- the browser button is great

short url service from germany with only 20 indications http:/03e.de anonymous and faster then tinyurl or bit ly
I used http://kaano.info
Because it hase easy GUI
and its AJAX BASED so Fast response.
Also twlinx.com which lets you choose exactly how the short URL will look like! Dot com domains are generally better because they don’t look suspicious and awkward to novice viewers (e.g. is.gd and bit.ly look suspicious)
You can also use http://TinyIt.info . It’s great.
