I've noticed MakeUseOf has custom link-shortening on Twitter (muo.fm). Is this custom code or is there a service that does this? Thanks guys!

I'm glad you like it, Steve. We were waiting for quite a bit to get the pro account.

Hey Steve,Jackson registered a bitly.pro account for MakeUseOf and created these custom short links.

Bit.ly pro accounts allow publishers to add their own domains (ex. muo.fm ) for link shortening. Obviously the domain needs to be purchased first.

Thanks guys! I'm glad to hear it's bit.ly because I think that service will be around for a while. It's a pretty cool feature.
