Abbreviate or shorten: Use common abbreviations to make things shorter or just chop off some letters of your name. 1 billion times.[12] Around that time, bit.ly and TinyURL were the most widely used URL-shortening services.[12] One service, tr.im, stopped generating short URLs in 2009, blaming a lack of revenue-generating mechanisms to cover costs and Twitter's default use of the bit.ly shortener, and questioning whether other shortening services could be profitable from URL shortening in the longer term.[13] It resumed for a time,[14] then closed.

Now let’s quickly see how to shorten links on Twitter in the easiest and user-friendly way possible. It is a legitimate concern that many existing URL shortening services may not have a sustainable business model in the long term.[12] In late 2009, the Internet Archive started the "301 Works" projects,[25] together with twenty collaborating companies (initially), whose short URLs will be preserved by the project.[12] The URL shortening service ur1.ca provides its entire database as a file download, so if its website stops working, other websites may be able to provide ways to correct broken links to URLs shortened with its service.

Some shortening services, such as goo.gl, tinyurl.com, and bit.ly can generate URLs that are human-readable, although the resulting strings are longer than those generated by a length-optimized service. It’s a good way to package up multiple links into one link. They can hide their nefarious links in a shortened URL meaning people either clicked on the links and quickly learned to either never trust a shortened link, or to always use a link extraction site (e.g. WhereDoesThisLinkGo) to see where the shortened link actually went before they clicked. On other such services, using a URL shortener can allow linking to web pages which would otherwise violate this constraint. It's simply to use: When you're on a page you want to create a shortened link for, just click the button in your toolbar or set up a keyboard shortcut. (Actually, you can set up a ton of shortcuts if you want, available in the extension's options, but a simple "Copy url" shortcut is the most obviously useful—maybe Ctrl+Shift+C.) The shortened URL will be automatically copied to your clipboard, and you still get all the nice stats tracking built into the goo.gl web site.
