Is ‘Binged.it’ a new URL shortener for Bing?

Having their own URL shortening services is a trend among the Big Daddys nowadays and it seems even Bing has jumped into the bandwagon. Although not declared officially, some ‘Microsofties’ have already started using it. We are bound to associate this new URL shortening service with Bing because the slug it uses is – Binged.it

The clouds of doubt fade away even more when the official Bing Travel’s twitter used it in their recent tweets on Twitter.

Binged.it

Personally, I don’t think Binged.it qualifies as a URL ‘shortener’ because it defies the very purpose of it with its 9 characters + 6 random characters slug. But I am sure some die hard fans will like it anyway (because they’ve liked anything and everything that MS came up with).

As of now Binged.it redirects to Bing.com. Let’s see what the (near) future holds.

I just added your blog site to my blogroll.

I think Microsoft is not paying good to their product developers. They are just developing the products for sake of doing their job :)
