Google always tries things out. And they do shut down services. So nobody says they couldn't shut down this one.

Do they have an API? Do they allow adult links? That's the things I would look into.
Some url shorterners will kill your links if they find out its porn!

Provision of the service by Google:

Quote:

4.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Google may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Google’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Google when you stop using the Services.

They even wrote it in their TOS. They can shut it down if they find that not enough people are using it.
That in turn will keep people from using it.

Okay. Just forget about Goo.gl:

Quote:

8.3 Google reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Content from any Service. For some of the Services, Google may provide tools to filter out explicit sexual content. These tools include the SafeSearch preference settings (see http://www.google.com/help/customize.html#safe). In addition, there are commercially available services and software to limit access to material that you may find objectionable.

Code:

# goo.gl shell script for creating short urls



URL=$1

if [ -n "$URL" ]; then

curl -s -d "&url=${URL}" http://goo.gl/api/url | sed -e 's/{"short_url":"//' -e 's/","added_to_history":false}//'

echo "usage: goog.sh {URL}"

bit.ly is a cooler service for now.

Davy	10-02-2010 01:20 PM

Good luck with bit.ly! They will turn your porn links off if they find them!

I'll stick with bit.ly and I've never had my porn links turned off by them.

Exactly. I've never understood newbies using hosted services that they have no control over. I have my own URL shortener so bit.ly or tunyurl are completely unnecessary. I use piwik so google analytics isn't necessary. Webmasters should become more self-sufficient.
