Short Your URL

A picture, a file or a qr code … nowadays anyone shares information on Internet. This is especially true in social networks like twitter or Google Buzz where your posts has a delimited space to be writen. For example, in twitter 140 characters are available to write your text so if you want to link any address you should economize on space by using url shorteners. We find the same problematic in other modes of short form publishing (status updates, etc.) for this reason we think this kind of tool is an interesting way to manage the information we usually publish.

1. Open "http://goo.gl/" in your browser

2. paste your URL in the box, then click "Shorten URL" Button
