da.gd is a small set of plain-text web tools, and its shortener makes short da.gd links straight from a URL. Call /s?url= to get a short link back as plain text, choose your own suffix if you like, add + to a short link to see where it points, and use /stats for basic click statistics. It suits shell scripts and simple apps that need no JSON parsing. Free, no key needed.
