I see quite a few people using TinyURL and bit.ly on Twitter, where the service can be very useful because of the character limit (160 characters maximum). My favorite URL shortener is by far moourl. If it’s not the most popular one, it’s definitely the cutest one… Check it out:

moourl

I understand that you don’t really care which URL shortening service I use, but this one has a few interesting options. You can personalize the URL, by giving the name you want like moourl.com/marketingmeerkat. I guess this is subject to availability… You can also add a bookmarklet to your favorites: a button that will automatically shorten the URL of the webpage in your web browser when you click it. Just give it a try, it’s really handy…

Popular URL shorteners usually have these options. If you’re after analytics, social media mentoring and other related services, try Cligs. Feel free to share your favorite URL shortener with us!
