SnipUrl Offers URL Shortening With Tracking Statistics

Posted on March 22, 2007

A lot of people using Twitter are using Tinyurl.com to shorten URLs. Tinyurl.com has held up very well under the heavy usage and the only observed downtime was very briefly earlier this morning. Another option for shortening URLs is SnipUrl. SnipUrl has some useful features for people that register that Tinyurl doesn't currently offer. Here are some of the features.

  • View your snipped URLs
  • Edit your snipped URLs, including their nickname etc
  • Search through your snipped URLs
  • View popularity statistics on your own snipped URLs
    • These tracking statistics are in addition to the Url shortening and redirection service. SnipUrl also allows you to change where the shortened URL points to later. You can read more about SnipUrl's features in their detailed Faq. These features might be useful in Twitter where bloggers are constantly shortening URLs.
