How To Make Short Hyper-Links with Goo.gl URL Shortener (via Bookmarklet or Extension Add-on) » My Digital Life
goo.gl lite (Firefox Add-on): Let users use Goo.gl, Google’s URL shortener without installing Google Toolbar. After installation, user has to right-click Firefox toolbar, click “Customize”, and drag the Goo.gl button to a toolbar. Clicking it will make a goo.gl URL and copy it to clipboard, which can then be pasted to everywhere.
Comments: Shortening URLs with Google Tool Bar is a pain unless you want to send the url to a specific location like Facebook. A better way is to use the Firefox extension above. After installation a new right click menu entry appears, "Copy Goo.gl URL for link location". The chance of Google shorts being around in the future may be better than with some others. Let's not forget Google Notebook, so longevity is not guaranteed.
