Unwieldy links spilling over lines, messing up pages, making a nonsense of your tweets? The following table of URL shortening software might help. It’s a summary of what we could find, what they work with and most importantly from our point of view, can you make a custom URL? It’s not definitive (what is these days?). So tell us if we’ve missed something or update us if you’ve found an even better option.

Our preference? BudURL. It was designed from the start to give small businesses and marketers insight into click traffic.
