I’ve started using a URL shortening service called budurl.com recently to enable me to quickly and easily add short URL’s to Twitter. But budurl.com is more than that & I thought I’d show you a quick video taking a look at how & why I use budurl now.

You’ll see I’m starting to use the system more and more here on Studiowhiz, not just on Twitter.

Summary

There are many url shortening services out there, budurl.com is not the cutest, but I find it’s features are fantastic. What would make budurl even better would be a plugin for wordpress to auto-convert links in blog posts to make tracking outbound links easy.

Here are some others should you wish to try them

• budurl
• moourl
• tinyurl
• is.gd
• bit.ly
• tr.im
• shrinkify 
• w3t
• shrunkin 
• Shrinkster
