Google’s URL shortener goo.gl for sharing short links
January 18th, 2011
Tonight we are happy to announce support for Google’s goo.gl, which is a fast URL shortener like bit.ly and awe.sm brought to you officially by the folks at Google.

To start using goo.gl short URLs for your AddToAny button or standalone services, please see the AddToAny documentation on URL shorteners & “click-back” tracking. If you’re coding manually, just remember to drop the ‘e’ – the value should be ‘googl’ instead of ‘google’. Even we screwed that up once, twice, maybe a few times during testing.
This new feature comes in thanks to a Twitter message from Neasan. Thanks for the request, Neasan!

I just tried to shorten some URLs. They are very quick and useful to use. However, it is private and anyone cannot see my shorten URLs. Only when I sign in, I can see those URLs.

Yes, shorten URLs are private, only i see it. Any problems here? I assume that shorten URLs are public for everyone?
