URL shortners are in ! So much that you cannot live without them online. If you’re a social media user you’ll know how important they are, also how time consuming and messy they can be sometimes.

The biggest problem is not shortening URLs but managing the multiple URL shortening services available for various purposes.

Wish if you had a single solution where everything could be done, all the time ?

1. Get the shortest URL shortner with one click every single time you want it.

To.ly is the best and shortest URL shortening service I’ve known so far with just two+two characters taking the space. It can’t get shorter than that right ? Now, install their slim FireFox extension and every time you want a short URL in to.ly, just click the extension and walla ! The shortest URL in the shortest time. One for all.

Download the to.ly Firefox extension here.

2. Save a lot of clicks (and opened tabs), by getting a preview of the websites behind shortened URLs on any web page.

Twitter users use a lot of bit.ly links and today bit.ly is the most popular URL shortening service, that you seem all the time, especially on Twitter streams. Now save  a lot of clicks, by actually not clicking them, but getting a preview of the site that’s behind the shortened URL. That means less opened tabs, less memory use on FireFox, better browsing experience !

3. Get quick preview of SEO meta data for short URLs

So there has to be something for webmasters too right ? Here’s one. This particular addon will help you have a quick preview of the SEO data for any short URL. Data like Page Title, Meta Description and Meta Keywords in a quick neat preview.

4. Goo.gl URL shortner without the clunky Google Toolbar

The only reason I’m not using the goo.gl URL shortner is because I have to download the entire Google toolbar, that woul sit right on top of my browser and make it run slow. But I like Google..and goo.gl, so what do we have ? A Firefox addon that will give you goo.gl short URLs with a single click, and without the clunky toolbar. Simple as that.
