The General Services Administration on Tuesday announced a new application that allows government employees to shorten their Web addresses. Go.USA.gov lets officials create short .gov URLs out of any .gov, .mil, or .si.edu URLs. As of 5:30 p.m., Go.USA.gov has shortened 249 URLs that have been clicked 14,299 times.
A handful of the most popular Go.USA.gov links:
• NASA satellite images of autumn foliage at Lake Superior and Lake Michigan
• Recovery.gov, the government's economic stimulus accountability Web site
• A 2009 flu prevention public service announcement contest
• U.S. earthquakes from the last seven days
