It seems google.com, the famous search engine, is entering the URL shortening business. Hoo boy, they must be really bored over there at google HQ. Do they really think they can take on my URL shortening service?

Look at their dorky URL: http://goo.gl/

Do they really think people will use that link? How do you even pronounce it? Maybe if it was called
http://urlshorteningserviceforgoogle.com or
http://urlshorteningserviceprovidedbygoogle.com

… but both their domains are still available. WAY TO GO, GOOGLE.

I guarantee that by the end of 2010, people will know me as “The Google Killer.” Because I’m about to perpetrate a heinous act of googlecide.
