Yay finally. I have to say I trust google more than bit.ly (how do they make money?)

Here is a shortened link to the article http://goo.gl/BHTx - stats page: http://goo.gl/info/BHTx

Following bit.ly's convention, you can also just add a plus sign to the end of the URL to get sent to the stats page: http://goo.gl/BHTx+

bit.ly has smart people working for them, outstanding investors, and can pivot if needed. They're building up lots of analytics tools.

They have pro accounts, and custom shorteners.

I think bit.ly is pretty secure. They're in a different ballgame than the tiny ones.
