About Bitly

Empower people to make better decisions by providing insight into the connected world.

Since 2008, Bitly has been committed to the power of the link. Privately held, based in NYC, Bitly shortens more than 1 billion links per month as an integral part of social, SMS, email efforts (and more) from publishers, brands, government organizations, educational institutions, non-profits and individual users. Processing more than 6 billion clicks on those links per month, Bitly remains the leader in an optimal sharing experience, and continues to unveil new products while generating one of the most valuable proprietary datasets in the world today.
