The fastest and prettiest way to shorten URLs and get their click analytics.

Shorten long URLs and squeeze them into fewer characters to make links easier to share, tweet, or email to friends. Using a shortened goo.gl URL leaves more room to say what's on your mind. For example, http://goo.gl/n7IMF2 is a convenient shorthand representation for the long link https://play.google.com/store/apps.

Access analytics of any short URL, including the raw click counts and their distribution across referrers, browsers, platforms, and geographical locations.

The app also lets you
• Shorten URLs and share them quickly
• Access your history - always synced with goo.gl
• Get colorful analytics reports of any short URL, not just yours - without leaving the app you clicked from
• Android Beam - push a short URL onto another device by tapping the devices together
