We created BitPost as a trackable shortening service for Post Communications, LLC. To get an idea of what our company does and who we serve, check out www.postcompanies.com. URL shortening is a technique on the Web where a provider makes a web page available under a very short URL in addition to the original address. For example, the page: http://www.patronpost.com/view_message?id=pp45dfdhyXd78dfs can be shortened to: http://bitpost.us/C4t Short URLs are perfect for sharing content via a host of social networking sites. If you're looking to build your own url shortener, take a moment to look at Brian Cray's FREE URL shortener. Building your own url shortener is the best way to avoid having your links connected to a blacklisted domain name.
