Awesome Live Writer Plugin for bit.ly

I’m personally not bought into the overall value of URL shorteners. I think the COGS are high, and you only monetize in nefarious ways:

  1. tracking visitors who who aren’t aware they are being tracked and selling their behavioral data
  2. getting a nice set of IDs and then adding a landing page (or even better, driving people to search instead of taking them to the content).

But… Bit.ly adds something different. they add nice stats and tracking which I find extremely useful (especially when I try to drive people to content via blogs, tweets and emails).

One of the neat things I found was a Bit.ly plugin for Windows Live Writer, check it out here

You simply highlight the URL and it converts it into a bit.ly.

nice and easy to use.

    Dear Sir

    This is Pradeep Shukla from Mumbai. We have a Production enverionment which is based on MSIB , MCMS, Commercr server and ASP.net 1.1 ..

    We have come up with new Model in which we want to have the same  E- Commerce Portal but we wamt to remove the dependency from MCMS.

    WE want to modify the application in such a way that MCMS will be no more in pictures. WE will not use SIte Managers to create the Channel and Posting , also we will not use MCMS for Porilization.

    Will you please suggest the ROad Map for the same.

    Thanks in advance.
