Bit.ly Introduces Bundles – Share Multiple Links as Bundles

All of us now use URL shorteners to share links to our friends and followers in social media as well as social networking sites. The most popular URL shortner is http://bit.ly despite the fact that the website is sending your link through Libyan airspace. One of the major reasons for the popularity of Bit.ly URL shortener is that most of the twitter users started using this URL shortener earlier and they are all satisfied with the service.

Bit.ly has recently announced Bundles – a cool feature that allows users to share multiple links as a single shortened URL. To create a bundle of shortened links is easy. Add multiple links to the Bit.ly entry field separated by spacing. Each entry you add will be shortened as you add next entry and finally you can bundle all the links using the bundle tab.

Bundles helps you to share multiple links at once with one shortened URL. Bit.ly bundles allows other users to comment on your bundled links using Disqus. Bundle also allows you to add title and description for your bundled link. Users can also rearrange or delete any link inside the bundle.

The only problem is that the bit.ly bundle feature is currently available only to signed in users. If someone wants to create an anonymous bundle, they can use the help of Bridge URL – another URL bundling services. Bridge URL displays links mostly as a slide show with page 1 page 2 etc while bit.ly display links on a single page. If you haven’t tried a multiple link shortener then it is time you should either try Bit.ly Bundles or Bridge URL.
