   Bitly Review - Amazing Experience.

   Bitly is a URL shortening service and a link management platform. The company Bitly, Inc., was established in 2008. It is privately held and based in New York City. Bitly shortens 600 million links per month, for social networking, SMS, and email. Bitly makes money by charging for access to aggregate data created because of many people using the shortened URLs.

   The Bitly URL shortening service became popular on Twitter after it became the default URL shortening service on the website on May 6, 2009. It was subsequently replaced by Twitter's own t.co service.

   The company uses HTTP 301 redirects for its links. The shortcuts are intended to be permanent and cannot be changed once they are created. URLs that are shortened with the bitly service use the bit.ly domain or any other generic domain that the service offers.

   🏁 Competitors: Rebrandly, TinyURL, Polr

• Testing Svelte on the job

  The app I built was to function as the admin side of a URL shortener (something like bit.ly) so that one of our teams can convert long bookmarks into more shareable links so we can generate QR codes that another department on our team would use in their day-to-day tasks. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Closed bank closed debit card (simple.com)

  I received a refund for an item on Amazon and the debit card and bank was closed. Amazon will not reissue the refund to a different debit card and I'm clueless who to contact if there is anyone to contact since simple.com was defunct in 2021. Any help would be appreciated.

• Am I selfish?

  Get a fresh bank account without him; credit unions can be good for this. Make sure it's not at a bank that he frequents...you don't want the teller to be "helpful" and clue him in on things. I used to recommend simple.com for a debit card, but they have sold out to PNC. Source: about 2 years ago
