New URL shortener:  BudURL.com

DateFriday, September 4, 2009 at 12:00PM
If you are a rental property owner or manager tweeting on Twitter about your available rentals, you are giving out URL addresses.  Sometimes these addresses are just TOO long to Tweet (remember you only have 140 character spaces).
The solution is to use one of the many URL shortener sites.  Most of them just shorten the URL; but a new generation of these tools is offering more features.  For example, some of them track the number of visitors who have used the site, or where they came from and some even provide this information in real time.  
One such newer service is www.BudURL.  Check out their intro Video:
 

BudURL Demo from Andy Meadows on Vimeo.

A quick tutorial and demo of BudURL.

 

Looking for other mini URL alternatives to compare BudURL against?  Check out 10 Short URL Services Face Off on www.MakeUseOf.com or visit MyRentalUnits.com Shortcuts where you can find lists for all sorts of the tools and services you need.  Let MRU do the initial leg work for you and save time!
