Shorten Those Unwieldy URLs!
When sharing a document with the link, it may not always be possible to put that link in an email or on a webpage so parents, students, or others can simply click the link to go to the Google document. Sometimes, for example in a printed paper home to parents, the viewer must type in the address manually. Sometimes, you may need students to enter an address manually. In these situations and in many others, URL shorteners are quite useful.
With addresses of shared Google docs, URL shorteners are a huge necessity because Google links tend to be horrendously long without any sort of rhyme or reason as to the combinations of letters and numbers used in the address.
Bit.ly is a site that will give you a shortened address, even one you can customize, to provide in your information sent home.
