"Track your links with a custom domain"

What do you like best about Bitly? It's easy to create a bitly shortened URL without log in. With a login, you can do more. You can set up custom domain, get APIs that can be used in twitterfeed or Tweetdeck. An example link is http://a.ruben.ws/1932HY2 . This link will open my bitly review page on G2crowd.

"Above & beyond simple link shortening"

What do you like best about Bitly? Free and easy to use, and the basic analytics are great. I really like that I can rename the shortened link something a little more descriptive or intuitive than the random alpha-numeric one initially assigned. I don’t personally need the custom short domains for the links, but I could see that being a nice option for a lot of companies. I like that I can bundle links by topic.

"Great Product Since been Overtaken by Rivals"

What do you like best about Bitly? Bit.ly is still the first among URL shorteners for me because they were the first, and I still use them. I've always like their analytics, too.

"shorten those abusively long URL's"

What do you like best about Bitly? The ability to shorten URL's has become a need within some social networking sites, especially those which have character limits, be it twitter or tweetdeck, facebook or even within business emails when presentation is key, and the last thing you want is a long ugly URL.
