bit.ly has smart people working for them, outstanding investors, and can pivot if needed. They're building up lots of analytics tools.
They have pro accounts, and custom shorteners.

I think bit.ly is pretty secure. They're in a different ballgame than the tiny ones.

Following bit.ly's convention, you can also just add a plus sign to the end of the URL to get sent to the stats page: http://goo.gl/BHTx+

#6Two things:
a) Always better to copy / paste article titles to HN. Without the quotes it sounds like "most secure, fastest" is TechCrunch's review of the URL shortner. It's not, that line is a quote directly from Google's press release.
b) Regurgitating Google's press release with a half paragraph objective view at the end is content farming - TechCrunch should sell out to AOL! Oh wait.

#7" You also know that when you click a goo.gl shortened URL, you’re protected against malware, phishing and spam"
So if I send you a goo.gl link to goat.cx does Google stop that? What if you wanted to see goat.cx ?

Hopefully they do like safe.mn: warn user, but let them go to the site if they know what they are doing. http://safe.mn/NVr
