Bitly


Bit.ly allows users to shorten, share, and track links (URLs). For example,

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10378353-36.html

can be shorted to:

http://bit.ly/2iYXSZ

Reducing the URL length makes sharing easier, especially when using micro-blogging software such as Twitter. Bit.ly tracks who accesses each shortened link, 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.
