How to Create Goo.gl URL Shortlinks Without the Google Toolbar
Posted December 17, 2009 at 4:20pm by iClarified
Two methods for creating Goo.gl URL shortlinks without the Google Toolbar have surfaced online.
The first method by Alexandre Gaigalas is a simple webpage which takes the long url as input and spits out the Goo.gl url in return.
You can find that webpage here.
The second method is a Chrome Extension (Windows only for now) by giakomino which adds a small icon to the toolbar allowing you to generate the shortlink quickly.
You can install that extension from here.
