Currently in the beta phase, Bitly for Feelings allows you to choose feeling when shortening a link. For example, if you love a piece of content, you can use upvot.es or luvit.me. If you hate any content, you can use loath.es or oppos.es. For funny content, you can use lolthis.me and yaythis.me for something exciting.
