Is this really working? 

After installing the Google Apps MarketPlace Google Short Links, I see Short Links under my Google Apps on my domain Service settings page -- so I also know Google support won't deal with this as it is a Lab product. I have already set up the CNAME for the equivalent of shortlinks to point to ghs.google.com -- as I have successfully done for most of my other Google Apps. 

However, under Settings tab on my domain Service settings page, nothing like Short Links is listed, and indeed http://shortlinks.mydomain.com goes my default error page. 

This is not working for me.  It's been several hours.  I checked independent DNS checkers, and my DNS info propagated within 15 mins from Linode.

Google is always changing its code, especially with Labs products. Have they recently taken this App down?

Hi,

Short Links has not been taken down. It sounds like something in your
setup process isn't quite working yet. Maybe you can post some more
information here and somebody else who ran through a recent setup
might be able to help?

Best regards,

Jens

The three small attached JPG's show what I have described in my posting.

I guess it just took a while for google to access my new CNAME.  It all seems to be working now -- and working very well!
