artuhnrq liked bit.ly
logical added bit.ly as alternative(s) to TinyLinks.cc
fatihb thinks tr1.in is an alternative to bit.ly
I use bit.ly and I am satisfied.
I like that Bit.ly enables custom url's. It also has a good interface for seeing stats if that is of interest..
TinyURL also allows for customization of the URL ending.

Bitly gave me the error message, "You've reached our hourly rate limit for shortens," but I just made my account, so I haven't shortened anything yet.

Update 2019-02-04: Bitly has not yet answered my email from 2018-08-05, but I no longer get the error message.

I've seen this shortener for a domain that would all me to write something like
goog.sc/lucid+dreaming+FAQ
which then makes a google search for that query.
Any thoughts what I can replace "goog.sc" with? :)
