Google gets into the URL-shrinking biz with Goo.gl
Google ventured into new territory this week with the launch of a new URL-shortening service it’s calling Goo.gl.
Unlike some existing and high-profile shorteners such as TinyURL and Bit.ly, Goo.gl is not a general-purpose link shrinker that users can access by going to a standalone site. Instead, it’s been built into Google products, beginning with Google’s browser toolbar and its Feedburner RSS service.

This is especially important for sharing on places like Twitter, where there are size limits.
