Google has announced that the long-running clock on its URL shortener goo.gl finally has a death date: Aug.25, 2025. That's when links that were shortened using the defunct service will no longer be accessible, according to a blog post from the company on Saturday. But today is a bit of a stretch, since the URLs will continue to work until next year. Starting in August of this year, an interstitial warning page will appear before users are taken to the target URL. On Aug. 25, 2025, they won't work at all and will return a 404-error message. Google added that before shutting down, goo.gl links will start displaying an intermediate page starting on Aug. 23, 2024, to inform users that this link will no longer work soon. This message will gradually appear as the final date approaches. Source: Qatar News Agency
