How to Create Goo.gl URL Shortlinks Without the Google Toolbar

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.
