Top 5 Tools To Shorten Your Google Plus Profile URLs

Facebook’s profile URLs are easy to remember. Mostly they are Facebook’s own URL followed by your username. This makes it easy for you and others to visit your profile directly by typing the URL in their browser’s address bar. But this convenience of Facebook cannot be offered by Google+. By the way, we are on Google+ too, please feel free to add us in your circle to get updated with latest free resources on the web.

Since Google+ users join the network using their Gmail email address, their Google+ username can directly reveal their Gmail address. Thus Google+ has no choice but to give you profile ID numbers. These ID numbers are part of your direct URL for the Google+ profile. Thankfully however there are numerous web apps you can use to get a shortened URL for your Google+ profile by creating a nickname for yourself.

We have shared the best 5 of these applications below. Check them out.
