Google launch goo.gl – a url shortener

By Liam Lally 16th December 2009 Blog & 1 more

Google have recently announced they have launched a url shortening service called goo.gl.

At the moment this will only be available using the Google toolbar or feedburner (that is you cannot visit the goo.gl website and shorten your URL there, in the same way you can with bit.ly).

However we think it will only be a matter of time before Google launch this fully, which will be a shame for the existing URL shortening providers currently out there.

Liam has delivered 3 excellent workshops to employees of Bassetlaw District Council and also to local business owners/managers as part of our business support programme. He is an expert in social networking, search engine optimisation and google adwords and has the rare ability to make the most technical subjects understandable at all levels. Delegates have always left his workshops very much the wiser and enthused to use the knowledge to develop their businesses. We will use Liam's services in future programmes and have recommended him to other training providers.

I've known Liam now for a few years and its clear he enjoys his work and has a very deep understanding of his subject matter. I've had the pleasure of attending several of Liam's courses as well as seeing his hard work put to good use on several websites and Google AdWord campaigns.

We employ Liam to devise and assist in developing our new website and ad words campaign. Without fail he has provided us with a level of service and support which exceeds our expectations and he's an all round good bloke as well. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I recently attended one of Liam's training courses on how to get the best from LinkedIn for business. It was a most informative yet enjoyable morning and I am still not sure how Liam managed to pack so much in to half a day. The pace was just right - lively but totally inclusive - with all the verbal content being backed up by an easy to follow takeaway guide for later use. I look forward to growing my LinkedIn network with all my new knowledge and would thoroughly recommend the course to everyone who is (or wants to be) on LinkedIn.

I had the pleasure of attending a Business Club Lincolnshire meeting where Liam was the guest speaker. The subject of the presentation was "Generating Business Through LinkedIn". Liam clearly demonstrated his passion for the subject and his in-depth knowledge of Social Media as a business tool. Liam was very keen to share that knowledge with the group and was very open and helpful when questions were raised. Liam's presentation was very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him if you are looking for advice or assistance with Social Media for your business.
