Today I was mailing this URL to one of my students:

https://www.google.com/search?num=50&client=firefox-a&hs=gHy&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=sb&q=speech+recognition+%D8%A8%D9%87&oq=speech+recognition+%D8%A8%D9%87&gs_l=serp.3..30i10.16489.18609.0.18802.11.11.0.0.0.0.207.969.5j3j1.9.0….0…1c.1.45.serp..9.2.175.DAEn3quu3IA

It’s a Google search result…

Isn’t it too long?

I think Google could add a button to top of result pages and let users click on it to get a short URL of that page via goo.gl service directly.

For example that long URL could be converted to this:

http://goo.gl/8N4dqQ

I’m sure Google will add this feature someday…
