Google’s URL shortener Goo.gl was introduced last December as a part of Google toolbar and Feedburner and there wasn’t a direct way to shorten URLs via this service, like the Facebook’s URL shortener fb.me. Goo.gl was then integrated for most of the popular services from Google including Picasa, Blogger, Maps etc. A few days ago, Google opened the URL shortener for everyone, i.e. you can open up Goo.gl on your browser and shorten any URL on the fly. But Goo.gl accepts links previously shortened through other URL shorteners as well which is uncommon among other URL shortening websites. Like if you take a link shortened via bit.ly and insert it into the shortening field of Goo.gl, it still accepts it, unlike other URL shortening services which mark such practices as spamming.

Yesterday I felt elated upon logging in to Techattitude’s Twitter account to find that the account had been activated for the New Twitter. Techattitude doesn’t have many followers as of now so I was thinking that the New Twitter would be activated for Techattitude only after it crosses a certain followers threshold. But the New Twitter for my account totally left me amazed and I later thought that maybe it was activated for all users. I also have another (kind of personal) Twitter account that I use off and on. So, I logged in to that but to my despair, it wasn’t yet enabled for the New Twitter. So, I wondered what kept it on the waiting list. Maybe it was the incomplete profile information.
