1	I use su.pr mostly - it has the added value of not only tracking links, but bonus stumblethrough traffic. answered May 31 '10 at 10:49 Riquochet 181●6●8●11

1	Usually bit.ly but have used tinyurl also. answered May 31 '10 at 11:54 Dangerous 3.2k●10●20●46

1	I no longer manually use any URL shortening service. Why? The various Twitter apps I use all auto-shorten and auto-resolve URLs so I don't have to. My favorite Twitter client these days is Brizzly. answered Jun 11 '10 at 21:54 ageekmom ♦ 8.4k●43●148●322
