Sweet - I'm a Goo.gl user but have always really liked Bit.ly, I suppose it is more of a habit than a preference. Definitely going to check this out!

@patrickcoombe @yas_pas Any way we could use the j.mp domain again instead...? It works most of the time, although its not in the settings, and I have to keep manually copy/pasting it. O:-)

Nice write-up Jen! From a product perspective, there are a few reasons why I’m really proud of the re-design and the Bitly team behind it. We removed the cruft Over the last ~7 years Bitly has experimented with a lot of different features to provide for our users. All of these features made it an increasingly complex product, diluting our core value and creating complexities that made it impossible to iterate quickly. The team at Bitly looked at the usage data and made the hard decision to sunset features that some people found invaluable, but the far majority did not. Focus on workflow and analytics Like Jen mentioned, the redesign is a more streamlined platform that makes it incredibly easy for users to create, share, and view data on their most important links. We did this by integrating analytics with link management using an interactive 30-day summary graph. (Spoiler alert - look out for the ability to choose a custom date range within the 30 day summary to better align with users’ sharing schedules.) Building block for what’s to come The New Bitly platform sets the stage for revamped satellite experiences like Android & iOS apps and browser extensions that will streamline users workflows. It’s also more flexible and scalable as we begin extending the platform to the changing digital landscape and stay ahead of our customers’ needs. We are excited to hear what users think of it and how we can continue improving!

@dtouch @jcullem Looks great Dan and Jennifer, congrats. Keen for a super easy user experience. Any love for those of us that need a touch more than 500 branded bitlinks but can't justify forking out $495/ month?

@antbs thanks and great to hear you're enjoying the new platform! We've put a lot of research into our price tiering and are confident you'll be satisfied with all of the advanced branding and analytics available with our Enterprise offering. Totally get its not a fit for everyone, which is why we offer additional Bitlinks on the bit.ly domain.

Branded domains are back? My old company used to use that feature for free but last year bitly asked us to pay hundreds per month or risk having all of our links broken. We were confused about what we got for the price so we let them break all the links. I wonder is we can get back the same branded domain

The team at Bitly has been hard at work over the past year rolling out an entirely new Bitly experience. We've maintained the core of what you expect from us: easy link shortening and real-time tracking, but packaged it up in an updated, easier-to-digest interface. We've centered the new experience around a dashboard that keeps your latest stats always top-of-mind. We've also made performance enhancements so your list of Bitlinks loads very quickly – no more lost time trying to find what you're looking for. Our new visual design is also a reflection of our newly refreshed and more contemporary visual identity. We aimed to make the UI clean, flat, and legible, yet enticing and delightful to use. New Bitly is also fully responsive now. You'll be able to create Bitlinks and check back in on them from any device, anywhere. Let us know what you think.

Even at the free tier, you can still gain a lot of insights from your links. I only use it to track social media sources. The only thing that bugs me is that in my case Twitter source is not represented correctly - it falls under Email, SMS, etc. I get that a lot of people open twitter notifications through email on mobile, but I've had to cross reference google analytics to be sure.

Bitly helps me customize and shorten my URLs so that marketing campaigns are totally effective. What I like the most is that we can route and redirect our visits according to the country, the device, the IP ranges and the types of connection (Bitly Enterprise). Its analytical panel is quite easy to understand, since it provides us with statistics and precise metrics, along with graphics to be able to segment up to reach our target audience.
