URL Shortner going away

Goo.gl Is Going Away


Google has recently announced plans to shut down the Goo.gl url shortener.

According to Google, this move was needed as more people rely on apps and content available on phones than on websites. They would like everyone to move to Firebase Dynamic Links.

After April 13th, you will no longer be able to create any new url short links and any link you have used with Goo.gl will no longer work after May 30, 2019.

What can you do?: You can continue to use Bitly or Ow.ly. Or you can be brave and start using Firebase Dynamic Links. (hopefully, there will soon be a chrome extension) Next, take a look at your websites and documents and see if you have any Goo.gl redirections. If you do, you will need to mitigate them to another url shortener service.
