We have already told you how url shorteners have become very important after the advent of microblogging and how Google and Facebook announced their respective url shorteners on the very same day. As if all this heat was not enough, Bing.com has now joined the Battle of URL Shorteners, although unofficially yet. And binged.it is the name!
On hitting binged.it in the address bar of your browser, you will be simply redirected to the Bing.com homepage. Now we have two reasons to believe that Bing will soon launch it’s very own URL Shortening service:
First, the non-availability of the domain and it’s getting redirected to the Bing.com is a reason in itself that proves the launch of a URL Shortening service from Bing.
Second, This tweet from the official twitter account of Bing Travel. The tweet says:
New security regs not your favorite? At least your luggage will be taken care of: http://binged.it/4Hi4Ha
Just notice the binged.it URL. So we are sure, it is coming and we are keeping our fingers crossed for the official release and public use.
its utterly useless.. it has more characters than bing.com
But their short URL seems too long!
@furobiker and @arpit: I totally agree with you, It could have been something like bing.it or bi.ng (the .ng domain is a top-level domain for Nigeria)
sure but u didnt had that angle in the story anywhere
