The information on the Internet is growing and much of it circulates through social networks, and as is well known the vast majority of updates that are shared in this type of site are links to content of interest, which leads us to look for the way to do it the best possible and in a well presented way.

In specific cases such as Twitter, the content to be shared has a character limit which makes each one of them very important and we must know how to take advantage of the available space, so the big web addresses are not very helpful in this type of sites, for which the famous URL shorteners have been developed.

A shortened URL for those who still do not know is just a web tool that is responsible for converting a long URL (web address) in a much shorter so that you can save space when sharing. For an example, we can see that the URL t2m.io/qTp75yQU leads to a page of our blog and which is much shorter than the original address.

Due to the great boom of social networks URL shortening services have become quite popular and there are many options that we find in the network, so I wanted to share a small selection with 10 of the best URL shorteners on the Internet.

We must bear in mind that because these services hide the original link, in many cases they are used to deceive people and make them accessible to sites with viruses or phishing, so it is important to find out what is in a shortened URL before opening it when we do not trust its origin.
