StumbleUpon's Su.pr URL shortener now open to the public
But there are few things that set Su.pr apart. First, like Bit.ly, Su.pr offers analytics that let you know how many times users have clicked on your links. And second, Su.pr is run by web site discovery service StumbleUpon, and every time you shorten a link, you also add a web-based StumbleUpon toolbar to the link that lets users vote on the story.
