Bing has its own shortening URL, binged.it
In a tweet I have just seen from Bing’s @fareologist I noticed that they used a new URL shortening service by the name of binged.it. I think this is a new URL Bing are using, I certainly haven’t noticed this before. Binged.it is clearly a great address for Bing to have; I see that with the Bing and Ping service they use the bit.ly service so maybe we can expect Bing to change to this new one soon.
Nice to see its not only Google and Facebook buying and using shorter URL for their services, wonder what other URLs Microsoft have planned for shortening services, I wouldn’t be surprised to a WinLi.ve service launched with the release of Windows Live Wave 4.
Update: First use of of the binged.it URL appears to be on January 7th so it does look to only be a week old.

That would be a good move by Microsoft. I hope they’ll make it available to the public. I’ve been suggesting a URL-shortening service for a long while. I’ve submitted feature requests:

Intresting Post!
It seems, that Binged.it uses the Bitly-Pro Product. For example this URL:
http://binged.it/abc
Ends in a Bitly-Error-Message. I also tweeted about this: http://twitter.com/_asterix_

マイクロソフトもURL短縮競争に参戦：でも短縮用URLのbinged.itはbing.comより長いですから～! (Jan 17, 2010)
[...] 英国のMy Microsoft Lifeというブログの記事によると、マイクロソフトBingの従業員たちがbinged.itというURLを使ったツイートを投稿し始めたようだ。Seattle PIというブログでも、これまで内部でテストされてきた短縮URLが間もなく公になる予定だという記事が掲載されている。しかしこのbinged.it、なんとBingの本家ドメインより1文字分長いのだ。もちろん.comの部分も入れての計算だ。確かにBingで何かを検索すれば、その結果を示すURLは非常に長いものになる。しかしどうせならBing.comドメインのまま短縮URLを使っても良かったし、あるいはもっと短いドメインを取得しても良かったはずだ。Bing.comのドメインにいくら使っているのかは知らないが、安いものではないはずだ。それにBingはGoogleよりも短いという利点だってある。別ドメインを使うならbin.gdといったようなものを考えれば良かったのではなかろうか。 [...]
