I seriously wish I start a dedicated blog to cover URL shortening services on the web. I understand there is always a room for another, but seriously URL shortening services are overpopulating the web. The most recent addition to the list is UnHub. If you have yourself registered, all you have to do is simply place your URL next to unhub.com and it generates a shortened URL. When users hit the link, the website opens with an iframe which gives them additional information like the number of times the site has bee digged, bookmarked on Delicious, etc. I can bet this isn’t the last one in the list and that I will be covering will be a couple more surfacing before the day ends.
Thanks so much for mentioning our new feature, I really appreciate your feedback. The only thing I’d add is that *any* person can type “unhub.com/” in front of any URL in their browser’s address bar to get started (not just account holders).
And I hear you about the overwhelming number of URL shortening services. We’re excited about our approach as it gives the person who shares the link a little credit (even if it gets retweeted). But overall, we’re just excited to get some feedback / response.

302url.com is another one.
