    goo.gl is great URL Shortener. The problem is that you can't delete shortened URL's.

    I prefer using bit.ly instead.

    I also prefer bit.ly over goo.gl because in bit.ly, you can customize the shortened URL, even add keywords. That can make the shortened URL more clickable.

    I really love using these URL shorteners and sabotage my friends with shocksites! OWND is what I'd call it.

    Ya that's good but it's old news now and I think I have seen such type of stuff already on DP. Tell us as what's new about Google as more asking and eager to know.
