I like that Bit.ly enables custom url's. It also has a good interface for seeing stats if that is of interest.. TinyURL icon TinyURL also allows for customization of the URL ending.

You can't delete your links (if you edit them). Your links are permanent and outside of your control.

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? :)

Master >>>bookmarks-good reads-visuals<<< independent from device, browser or OS!

Find the best and universal tools on the market to organize your big or small collection of bookmarks no matter which content, browser, OS or device you use. This list focuses on platforms which have effective mechanics to save, comment, structure, filter or find bookmarks. Personally I prefer well designed, eye friendly, state of the art, timeless, intuitively usable UIs which are ready to adopt to future needs and stay up to date. (Several services in this list have behind a paywall much more valuable features to organize your bookmarks) New and fresh Apps in the pipeline: (not yet in the database, but here in the list) www.linqes.com www.cling.com

What is bit.ly?

Bit.ly is a platform for creating short links and QR Codes for distribution. Users can easily create these from any webpage, helping to drive more traffic to their content. The platform also has a one-click link shortening feature and allows users to customize their links for a personal touch. Upgraded accounts can replace the generic "bit.ly" domain with their own brand. Bitly also generates QR Codes for various advertising campaigns that can be redirected if the associated content changes.
