BudURL : More than URL shrinking

There are many URL shortening service available. However BudURL is little different among all. It doesn’t just shrink long URL, but also add notes and tags along with detailed analytics like you have on your website. Detailed statistics is marketing nirvana, but your website statistics only cover your website. BudURL gives you the power to quantify traffic and make decisions that were once a shot in the dark.
