Thing 11: URL Shorteners

I am a big fan of bit.ly to shorten URLS.

One of my favorite tricks is to take the bitly url and add a + to the end to show statistics. So, the example bit.ly from Tara's post would become http://bit.ly/cRKibm+

You can now see when the link was clicked the most, where the people were located, and if the link was placed on twitter, etc.
