    Hey Guys,

    I hope you must have used Google's URL shortening services launched in 2009 for public use?Yeah, now the leader is flying high. It has announced the launch of 'G.co' domain which is dedicated to shortening URLs of its own sites. Whoa! The reason behind this strategic move is to simplify the task of distributing Urls across social networking or microblogging services. It will help users remember urls and overcome the crowd .com

    Cheers,

    Read this on The Register earlier. I do not see much sense in it to be honest, that have goo.gl after all

    The past year has seen huge fights break out and we are getting bombarded with changes and new services. Its getting tricky keeping up with everything. In the long term I suppose g.co might be a good idea but.... Sighs...

    as I read on some sites, they have registered the domain but they will not be changing anything with their existing URL shortening service. If they are going to infact change, then too many things changing at google

    You’ve arrived at this page because you typed or linked to “g.co”, Google’s official URL shortcut just for Google websites.

    Whenever you see a short “g.co” link, you can trust that it will always take you to a Google product or service.

    We also have a public URL shortener at goo.gl. You can use this to shorten up URLs across the web.
    ------------------------------------

    goo.gl is still official one.

    Kind Regards
