Comparison of URI-Shrinking Services

Behold!
I have scoured the web and found 47 different websites (edit: uh-oh, just found 85 more!!) that offer to turn a long URI into something that’s easier to copy and paste and view and click and share (etc.).

I guess the most important thing about this post is the actual data, so take your pick of format:
NOTE: Research is incomplete (but feel free to give me feedback).

And now, some information.

  • Most widely available features:
    1. Bookmarklet (33=70%)
    2. Custom URI (24=51%)
    3. Stats (24=51%)
  • Most scarce features:
    1. Batch Processing (6=13%)
    2. Path Forwarding (6=13%)
    3. Editable (8=17%)
    4. Ubiquity Command (8=17%)
  • The overall rankings and the Design ratings are completely and solely my opinion (but hopefully you knew that).
  • Sites that require registration to be used were not included.

*More info to come … someday.
