URL Shortner Bit.ly has refreshed its look and has added a few new features. It’s actually a pretty sweet deal, looks nicer and run main_bitly much quicker.  The foundation is still the same allowing you to shorten, share manage   and track your URL’s.

So what’s new with Bit.ly:

There is an advanced tools section that will allow you to grab a bookmarklet that will sit on your toolbar.

This bookmarklet will allow you to:

  • Send tweets directly from any website that you are on. You can send these tweets from a number  of services without having to open that particular application, including Tweetdeck.
  • View link stats and see where your visitors and clicks are coming from
  • You can get social with the responders, RT’s etc.
  • Send out Bit.ly’s from elsewhere and track them from your bit.ly dashboard

To set up your bookmarklet just follow these 3 quick steps:

Step 1: Click the tools bar on the right side of the menu bar and click the 1st option “bit.ly bookmarklet”

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of the page and drag the bookmarklet to your toolbar and that’s it
