YOURLS: Make Your Own URL Shortening Service

URL shortening services are ubiquitous on Twitter. Google URL Shortener at goo.gl is currently available for Google products, such as Buzz. goo.gl seems a perfect domain (very short and composed of parts of the word "google") for google.
.GL is short for Greenland, which is a self-governing Danish province located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The registration fee for a .gl domain is quite expensive, $129.00 for year, instead of $10!
YOURLS is a set of PHP script that will allow you to run your own URL shortener, a la TinyURL.
You can make it private or public, and a WordPress plugin makes integration with your WordPress blog (and Twitter) a snap.
Yourls, a server-based webapp that can run pretty much anywhere a WordPress installation can. There are lots of other options, which we'll get to as well, but Yourls is a fairly smart and fast way to get up and running with your own URL shortener.
