Goo.gl URL Shortener and QR Code Generator

I usually create qr codes to link to Web sites. I create the code and save it as an image.  Time passes and I lose track of it only to find a bunch of qr codes and no clue to where they go.  Now, I use the Google URL Shortener (http://goo.gl).  It shrinks long URLs and creates a qr code at the same time.  If you are signed in with your Google account, it will keep a history of your links and codes.

I also have installed the Goo.gl URL Shortener Chrome extension (http://goo.gl/LO8q6).  The extension does the same thing without having to copy and paste the address.  The extension can also share the URL to a variety of services.  I have mine set to three: Gmail, blogger, and G+.

Here is a screencast covering the basics of the goo.gl shortener and extension.
