Will be interesting to see how this pans out for the little guys like Bit.ly. How long til Twitter gives them up as default shortener and goes with Goo.gl? Seems like Google would pay nicely for that.

Meanwhile I have one of the shortest letterwise and physical lengthwise, l.tl ("little") waiting for a home. Would have thought Google would have gone with something like g.gl for shortness sake, but not sure if .gl does single-letter registrations since most extensions don't.

Very nice...

so many new tld's. I bet some good ones might be

bang.me
fuck.me
suck.me
...
...




Hope someday there will be .YOU i would love to get FUCK.YOU

There was a .yu...I forget if it's still around since it was for Yugoslavia if I recall correctly. Fuk.yu would have been fucking awesome to have!

And I'm pretty sure of those, at least one or two sold for 5-figures. .me has had some surprisingly nice sales.

I'm pretty sure Google just owned any url shortening service out there... Nobody will be able to be better at it then them...

goo.gl url redirects.

I smell some ownage coming.

very nice :thumbsup
