bit.ly allows users to shorten, share, and track links (URLs). Reducing the URL length makes sharing easier. bit.ly can be accessed through our website, bookmarklets and a robust and open API. bit.ly is also integrated into several popular third-party tools such as Tweetdeck. A more full list of third party tools can be found on the bit.ly blog. Unique user-level and aggregate links are created, allowing users to view complete, real-time traffic and referrer data, as well as location and metadata. Tracking stats are available after users shorten their long links with bit.ly by clicking on the “Info+” link on bit.ly, or just adding a “+” sign to the end of any bit.ly link (for example, http://bit.ly/n0og+).

Makes those post-specific URLs with 70-bajillion characters all nice and tidy for the 140-character squeeze on Twitter.

Bit.ly is fantastic for twitter & facebook as well. In addition - you can track how many clicks your link got just by logging back into Bit.ly! What a great way to see if your call to action (ie, click my link!) was interesting enough.

I hate having long urls. Bit.ly makes them short. There are other similar services, but this one is easy to use. When you send a link to someone it is much cleaner when it is short.
