Bitly updated; lets you do more now.
Popular link shortening service, Bitly updated
their service, yesterday; and using the word
‘updated’ here is heavily downplaying it.
The site, if we may say so has now undergone
a major design and feature refresh and you
can now do a lot more in addition to just
shortening links. The service, in line with their
sentiments in their blog post - “We want
this to be the single best place for you to save
and share your links and to discover
interesting things from your friends and the
entire web,” now allows users to save their
favourite links (Bitly now calls them bitmarks,
like bookmarks), be it of their favourite
recipe, an interesting review, etc. and share
them with their contacts across Facebook and
Twitter.
To begin with, Bitly now allows you to save
and share bitmarks that as aforementioned
are essentially links, which you might want to
keep for going back to in the future. After a
basic log-in, through either Facebook or
Twitter, or a sign-up, one can find the ‘Add
the bitmark’ option on the top right corner
of their page. Here users need to paste the
URL to the article, video, song that they want
to add. Once done, the saved bitmarks appear
below on their page.
Users can then either ‘Add a note’ to this
bitmark, or ‘Share’ it with their contacts
and/or get a shortened link to the bitmark by
clicking on an icon that resembles an ‘i’.
Users, in addition to this can also add their
bitmarks to a bundle. Users can create several
bundles, comprising several links and organize
them, and/or share them with their contacts.
