I use bit.ly for url shortening. Its very powerful because if you have register an account it will provide you full statistics of everylink just like analytics...

Also, its very simple to use...just add http://bit.ly in address bar before the URL http://www.xyz.com which you want to shorten and you will get your URL shortened!! :)
