I've only ever seen goog.le looks used in spam and phishing emails, so I'm not particularly sad about this

Of course, there's roughly eighty million other folks who think they've each done a short link provider better, somehow, so this won't make much of a difference beyond not relying on the bots at Google to deal with abuse problems.
