Many of us are looking for automatic Google URL shortener “//goo.gl”. When I was reading many articles and tutorials about URL shortener, I found a solution by Mr MS-Potilas. Using the Google app engine he has created a smart way to use Google URL shortener. As a base, I am taking his code and app engine and presenting a URL shortener which includes URL short by “//goo.gl”, “//mcaf.ee” and “//cli.gs”. MS-Potilas URL shortener is a little different and does not include McAfee and Cligs URL shortener. It is not very tough to use this feature/script with the Blogger platform.
