Google's short URL service, which offers a solution for those times when you need to use long, cumbersome URLs. With this tool, you can easily shorten a URL, no registration required, but you will need to enter a verification code every time you shorten a URL, or log in to your Gmail account to skip the verification code. Additionally, adding a "+" symbol after the shortened URL will show you the number of clicks on that link.
The service is no longer available as of 2020.1224.
