- Google’s URL shortening service goo.gl links will stop working on August 25th, 2025, resulting in 404 errors.
- Starting August 23rd, 2024, goo.gl links will show an interstitial page warning users of the upcoming shutdown.
- Google initially suggested migrating to Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL), which has also since been deprecated.
If they just released the db, I think there are be many who’d be happy to host the service. But knowing Google, they probably won’t do shit.
That could probably cause more trouble that it’s worth.
The Internet Archive could archive them forever.
Archiveteam has had a project trying to archive all of them they’ve seen for a few years now. https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/URLTeam
How would that work if Google could the domain? Or are you saying they’d release the domain as well?
I don’t expect that. It should be trivial to have a redirect addon.
