7 Google Plus Link Shorteners

Google Plus - Social Media and MoreStill waiting for your Google Plus vanity URL or are wondering how to shorten your Google+ URL?

With all of the excitement of Google +, it’s not hard to feel frustrated about having a long profile user name.  As of now, Google is not allowing custom or vanity URL’s for their new social networking site, leaving us with a series of numbers that even most mathematician’s wouldn’t remember.

To let your friends and social media colleagues join you on Google+, there are a few great custom URL shorteners to select from.  In my digital opinion, I say grab them all to protect your brand name. All you need to do is type in your long Google profile URL. Mine is https://plus.google.com/114190935413397701623/ so look for the long series of numbers on your profile page.

Add in your desired custom user name on the list of shorteners below. I used my first and last name, juliespira, to be in digital alignment with my twitter profile, as seen below.

The only trick will be in remembering which of these shorteners you’ve decided to use to promote your profile on your facebook, twitter, linkedin, or other social networking page. I’ve been favoring Gplus.to, but they’ll all work just fine.
