Posted by Adrian in Internet on 07 9th, 2009 | no responses

StumbleUpon’s Su.pr is a URL shortening service that allows you to decrease the number of character of a long URL, making it easier for you to share it in emails or across Facebook, Twitter, and StumbleUpon. Being in a closed beta state until recently, only a few beta testers had access to Su.pr, anyone else needed an invitation. Starting today the beta restraint has been lifted and you are free to use this service for all your URL shortening needs.

Su.pr is certainly not the only service that offers URL condensation but, to set itself apart from the rest it presents some special features. The terrific thing about this service is that it helps you keep track of your su.pr links and informs you about the number of times they were shared and across which services. By identifying the optimal times to post, you can schedule your shared links. You will be informed about the performace of your posts in real-time. Using the Su.pr dashboard you will have your traffic, referrers, Stumbles, clicks, and retweets all in one place.

Because Su.pr is connected to StumbleUpon’s website discovery your links will have an extended distribution. This differentiates Su.pr’s analytics from other services. StumbleUpon’s nearly 8 million users will be able to vote on your content and your links may become more popular. Su.pr’s analytics is the winning hand that will ensure this service’s place in the top of similar ones.
