bit.ly, - is yet another url shortening service. However it also provides API. Worth exploring.

Yet another URL Shortening Service

Came across yet another URL Shortening Service - Xrl.in - Really Tiny Links. It also provides "Bookmarklet" link to shortened the URL of the current page in your browser. For this, you can also download an extension for your Firefox. It promises to come with a facility to manage your shortened links.

Snipr still remains my favorite service for shortening long URLs. It let you to select your own suffix text (if available) and title to the URL being shortened.

More link shortening services

Found two more link shortening services - http://lin.cr and http://www.moourl.com/.

Lin.cr appears to be more attractive in the sense that its own URL is short and sweet.

Share all your links with a LINK - Bunch them with LinkBun.Ch

Well this is interesting, innovative and from India. If you want to share a list of links, LinkBunch - http://linkbun.ch is for you. It is yet in Beta (like most) but works well. I have been using a link shortening tool - Snipr to for referring to sites with long URLs in my emails. You know problem with long URLs, some email clients would break them into two lines and thus render them ineffective for clicking over. There might also be situation where we might like to share a set of links through emails or chat sessions - this LinkBun.ch could be of help. However I would like this tool to allow me to edit my set of links latter on and show me all my sets. Well Snipr does that. Hope that is soon coming up as indicated -

As of now, there isn't a way to edit bunches, but I'm working on a user account based system that will let you easily manage all your created bunches, favorite bunches, friend's bunches etc.

Another concern (though can understand this) - advertisements on the page created for the set of links.
