g.co, the official short URL app for Google websites

In 2010 launched the goo.gl short url service to the public.

On 18 this month, Google announced that all the Google products and services will have it's own serevice for shortering the url's (g.co).

g.co

At this time g.co displays a simple text explaining what is the site's purpose:

You’ve arrived at this page because you typed or linked to “g.co”, Google’s official URL shortcut just for Google websites.

Whenever you see a short “g.co” link, you can trust that it will always take you to a Google product or service.

We also have a public URL shortener at goo.gl. You can use this to shorten up URLs across the web.

g.co links will be created only by Google to make the users sure that the page they are going to be redirected to it is owned and operated by Google.
