Bit.ly, the web service that condenses links into bite-sized phrases that are easily tweeted, already added a powerful Bundles feature last month, letting users package multiple links into one URL. Now the company's made those bundled links easier to edit, acting like a wiki page where multiple users can add additional links to the mix.

For instance, a group of golfers can quickly package multiple links to websites of their favorite courses, resulting in a huge page of links for all their golfing friends to enjoy and expend with links of their own. All these links could be represented by a single shortened web address and shared on Twitter for all to see.

Here's an example of how SpaceX built a group of links for its recent Falcon 9 launch.

This curation tool could evolve into a new type of web experience similar to a wiki, where teams of users can recommend and edit links along with their far-flung teammates, resulting in living documents that can be changed and amplified on the fly, then seamlessly shared.
