Shorten Your URL With GG.GG (Really Short!)

URL shortening services became popular nowadays specially in the social networking site – Twitter – where there’s a character limit for every tweets. And I found one URL shortener on the internet that will make your URL really short – GG.GG. And for everyone, here’s my review of this awesome URL shortening service.

 

Why I Love Using A URL Shortener?

1. It allows me to memorize the URLs I want to focus for promotion. Yeah, my memory is not that good on memorizing long URLs so I really love using a URL Shortener.
2. Sometimes, I want to hide my referral link so I used to hide the real URL through using this kind of service.

What I Like On GG.GG As A URL Shortener?

1. I can make a long URL Short even without signing in. There’s a link for registration but if you don’t want to sign up, you can still use the service.
2. I can make the URL personalized. As what I have mentioned, my memory is not that good enough so making personalized URL make it easier for me to memorize. It’s really beneficial.
3. I can track how many users clicked the shortened URL. If you want to use this tracking service, of course, you must be a registered user and signed in before you can use this one.

That’s all!

Oops! There’s a plus! For Chrome users, you can use URL shortener chrome plugin for more ease of use. I believe that there’s also plugin for Opera. I hope that a plugin for Firefox is next for development.

And to give you a sample:

I shortened this URL http://noobite.com/programming/how-to-improve-your-programming-skills/ using GG.GG and here’s the result:

For not customized: http://gg.gg/3ig

Now, count the number of characters and believe that it might be the shortest. 🙂
