L.LY and LL.LY

03.30.2011 | Author: Marko | Posted in .LY, Analysis

So many jing.ly domain name are out of there. What are the most shortest and most popular though? Alexa lists 26 of them, five L.LY  and 21 LL.LY:

2.ly, 3.ly, b.ly, o.ly, p.ly, ac.ly, ad.ly, cl.ly, ht.ly, hy.ly, it.ly, jm.ly, lu.ly, lz.ly, md.ly, ok.ly, om.ly, ow.ly, qx.ly, sl.ly, to.ly, up.ly, ur.ly, vp.ly, wn.ly, and xa.ly

All of them can be opened with just one click here: http://brief.ly/3n0/ *

Surprise, surprise, not all of them, pretty half of them, are not URL shorteners, something .LY was known for ages. Some are pretty unique services. Take for instance ad.ly - Celebrity Endorsemet in Social Media, cl.ly (CloudApp) - sharing in the cloud, hy.ly - other simple social apps, lu.ly - Facebook and Twitter interconnect... again, all showcased @ http://brief.ly/~1E5

* - N.B. due to the current firewall restriction in Libya some of the sites hosted in the contry might not be visible for the rest of the world.

    six.ly, nine.ly and ten.ly are still available 😉
