Google will be releasing a new url shortening service known as Goo.gl. Right now it is being used just in the google toolbar and the feedburner app but if they open it up to all uses then the future may not be looking too bright for Gilby’s TinyURL.
What do you computer nerds think?
Did Gilby apply for any copyright protection?
Did Gilby not just sell TinyURL to Google?
What DID Gilby do? Will Gilby speak up? Who knows?
If he changes his username to Gl.by, we’ll know.
Gilby is so rich now… he doesnt need to speak to us, he lets other people deal with the common folk.
Just because google makes something doesn’t mean it will kill tinyurl.
Because of twitter there are only a milion new services exactly like this.
I’d be interested to see exactly how the site traffic has goneup or down depending on twitters popularity.
According to Facebook, Gilby is currently in New Zealand.
I say we raid his drinks cabinet.
This is just a ploy by Google to try to get me to install their toolbar to be able to try the new service. Not gonna happen. Needing a special toolbar to use a web service is so 1999.
Time to party then?
Figures they’d wait until he left the country to unveil it. Fraidy cats.
Does anybody want that bottle of Jack Daniels?
I’ll trade you for the handle of Stoli… and this inflatable sheep tucked behind the couch.
Deal.
You had me at “Inflatable sheep”.
Man, Gilby just has a load of junk food in his fridge, I thought he ate healthier than that.
Wow!
I never knew gilby owned tinyurl!
I use that so often it’s ridiculous lol.
I dont know nothing…
Amen to that. Never used a browser toolbar, except plug-ins to help with Web design or similar.
Just wanted to let you know, JC, that I saw a 5’ tall glass of Guinness dancing in the middle of the street in Rotorua today. Badly. I took a picture just for you, but can’t edit them until I get home. I’m shooting all RAW, and the computer we brought with us is a Dell Vostro A90 running Mac OS X 10.5. Works great but not much SSD space or power…
I’m a week exactly away from Rotorua. Whoohoo!
Speaking of which, could someone please return all those animated GIFs? We’re experiencing a shortage.
When you see Gilby, tell him the pizza in the fridge has gone off, and that his freezer needs defrosting.
And that he’s out of beer.
