 7. Lnk.co (ReduceLnk)

This URL shortener service offers an interesting proposition: make money by tweeting shortlinks.

We haven’t tried this out, but the idea is pretty neat.

8. fur.ly

This one gets points for a pretty cute name, but fur.ly also has a unique method of shortening links. It allows you to input multiple links at once and shortens them into a single URL. When clicked, a fur.ly link will bring you to a web page that shows each link in sequence.
