About Bitly: Since 2008, we have been committed to unleashing the power of the link. Based in New York City, we shorten nearly half a billion links per month as an integral part of social, SMS, email efforts (and more) from brands, marketers, publishers, government organizations, non-profits and individual users. Processing more than eight billion clicks on those links per month, we continue to work to unveil new products while generating one of the most valuable proprietary datasets in the world today.
