* Why A URL Shortener?
As Twitter's popularity continues to grow, active Tweeters need options for shortening URLs to meet the 140 character requirement. There are already excellent shorteners out there including tinyurl.com, is.gd and bit.ly. We just like variety, I suppose.
* Short URLs & SEO
There are other reasons we wanted to build a URL shortener. We are doing an experiment (you know how we love to experiment). We want to know if the additional proliferation of our domain/subdomain throughout the Web will factor into out overall domain strength.
A second reason is that we already know that search engines like user-generated content - provided that it's quality content, well monitored, well moderated, is truly contributed by others, and isn't spammy. Anyone can use our URL shortener, just by signing up. We hope to generate interest in our tool by our customers, staff and the Internet community at large. This production of quality UGC will likely have a positive benefit to our domain in terms of its ranking strength.
