It’s Defenitly Google’s Month (Goo.gl)

Posted on by

With Many Announces this December from Google, We can say It’s Defenitly Google’s Month. Starting this month, Google announced Chrome OS, then Chrome Browser for Linux and Mac, Google Phone yesterday and Today Google has a URL shortener.

With Google’s new url shortener (goo.gl), This would be a great competitive to Bit.ly which is the main url shortener for Twitter. “Google shortened URLs are automatically checked to detect sites that may be malicious and warn users when the short URL resolves to such sites.” says Muthu Muthusrinivasan in Google Blog .

This would be another 100% successful service from Google which is already combined in Feedburner (Goodbye to Twitterfeed) and Google Toolbar.

    I don't think that Google announced the new phone. The Chrome OS announcement actually kinda sucked because of all the hyped expectations.<br />
    As for the new URL shortener service, I think I'll stick with bit.ly<br />
    It's working for me and it's not rocket science. Bit.ly is offering statistics, what else can be offered by Google to make me switch.<br />
    Plus, Doesn't Google collect enough data about us. Do they really have to find out about what URLs we're sharing.

    Well, I'm expecting more to happen with Goo.gl .. It could be included within Google Analytics which would be a great feature .. Beside If we get to talk about collecting data, Everything is collecting data about us .. No one is 100% secured for his/her data .. We give our data and we don't read privacy policies or agreements .. Let's wait and see what would happen with Goo.gl (:
