Summary

Our favorite URL shortening service, Bit. ly , has just released a Firefox plug-in that you'll probably want to add to your browser. It lets users hover over shortened URLs from a wide variety of services, including TinyURL, and see the resulting full URL as well as how many people have clicked through the shortcut.

Why can't is.gd do something like this? It's better than bit.ly by an entire character!

I now use the firefox plugin "shareaholic" it has bit.ly and around 30 other networks/bookmarking sites which cover places like myspace/mixx/yahoo buzz etc. and regulars like facebook,twitter and delicious - this one button is like a replacement for flock, that weened me from Internet Explorer - to firefox http://blog.shareaholic.com/?src=sm
