   Bitly Review - Amazing Experience.

   Bitly is a URL shortening service and a link management platform. The company Bitly, Inc., was established in 2008. It is privately held and based in New York City. Bitly shortens 600 million links per month, for social networking, SMS, and email. Bitly makes money by charging for access to aggregate data created because of many people using the shortened URLs.

   The Bitly URL shortening service became popular on Twitter after it became the default URL shortening service on the website on May 6, 2009. It was subsequently replaced by Twitter's own t.co service.

   The company uses HTTP 301 redirects for its links. The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be changed once they are created. URLs that are shortened with the bitly service use the bit.ly domain or any other generic domain that the service offers.

   🏁 Competitors: Rebrandly, TinyURL, Polr

   Deleted my account for "advertising"

   Former blogger for Second Life virtual world. ~ Had my account revoked after I was told my blogging was "advertising", even though 100's of other users do the exact same thing. Years of work down the tubes. Will never use it again. ~ Note: They are doing this to push for "PRO" memberships, because the company is hurting for money.

   🏁 Competitors: Instagram, Facebook

   👍 Pros:    Free to start, until you gain too much popularity.|Good for casual use.

   👎 Cons:    Spam|Abundance of advertising|Photostream hijacking by ads|Horrible customer service.

• Testing Svelte on the job

  The app I built was to function as the admin side of a URL shortener (something like bit.ly) so that one of our teams can convert long bookmarks into more shareable links so we can generate QR codes that another department on our team would use in their day-to-day tasks. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Instagram alternatives for promoting business, now that EU laws messed it up?

  Is flickr.com still alive? It used to be so cool back in the day, but I dropped off from photography in general over like the past decade, so have no clue how things are going over there. Source: 5 months ago

• 20mm or 35mm prime lens

  20mm will look wider on your Z6II than your D40x but it should look the same as it does on any other FX body like the D780 or the D850. Go on flickr.com and search for photos taken with 20mm lenses. You can type 20mm in the search bar. Make sure you look at photos taken with full a full frame camera. If those match the look you are going for, go ahead and grab the 20mm. Source: 10 months ago

• Question to Experienced ancestry user:

  When you scan your images, you can reduce the quality. You might consider getting a subscription to an on-line photo system, like flickr.com, where you can upload original images of high quality. You could have lower-quality ones on ancestry, or just use an outside link to the photo record you have. Source: 12 months ago
