Google has an official URL shortener for their own Google sites. It's G.co
As many know, they already had a public URL shortener which anyone can use: goo.gl

URL unshortener - unfwd4.me
By Vasudev Ram
Unfwd4.me is a URL unshortener, the opposite of a URL shortener like t.co, Twitter's own one, or tinyurl.com or bit.ly. If you enter a shortened URL on its web site, it unshortens it and shows you the original form of the URL, as it was before being shortened.
URL un-shorteners can be useful if you are programmatically reading and processing tweets using some Twitter library, like Twython, a Python Twitter library which I blogged about recently.
I found unfwd4.me through a Google search for "URL unshorteners", for something I'm working on. I only tried it with Twitter-shortened URLs that start with http://t.co. It worked for some of those.
Apart from unshortening your shortened URL, it also tries to shorten the already-shortened URL even more, and seems to work some - though sometimes only shorter by one character.

gplus.to makes short URL for your Google Plus page
By Vasudev Ram - dancingbison.com | @vasudevram | jugad2.blogspot.com
Saw this via someone's Google Plus page:
The site gplus.to lets you create a short URL for your Google Plus (G+) page. (gplus.to is not a Google product).
I created a gplus.to URL for myself at gplus.to/vasudevram (yes, I know, that handle vasudevram is a bit long, sort of defeats the purpose of a URL shortener, I could have used, say, vram, but I like to try to be consistent, it makes things easier to remember than, say, having one web account called vram, another called vasudevram, a third called something else ..., so as far as possible, I use the user id vasudevram for all web services that I become a user of.)
(I haven't used G+ much yet, only got the account some days ago, but will probably use it more over time. So not much to see on my G+ page right now).
