Link too big? Try Edubuzz.org’s URL shortener!
July 17th, 2009 by David GilmourThe Edubuzz.org Google Apps system now offers its own URL shortening service. It’s at http://shortlinks.edubuzz.org.
The links look like http://shortlinks.edubuzz.org/eduict and can be created by any logged in user. What are the benefits? These include:
- This is the first place that enables simple sharing of links between all East Lothian learners.
- Shortened URLs are much easier to share in printed docs or when space is limited.
- They can often be made easily memorable, as with the example above
- The list of links can be easily searched by all logged in users, improving sharing between schools
- A record is kept of usage, so you can easily see how often the links get clicked
- Links can be stored privately if you want
Short Links for Google Apps is an experimental service from Google Labs.
