I created the following after getting fed up with instant messengers blocking several legitimate domains, or just when pasting long links to friends and scaring them with the sheer size of them. Take the following for example: From: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3419+Beacon+Ave+S,+Seattle,+WA&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.547176,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=3419+Beacon+Ave+S,+Seattle,+King,+Washington+98144&z=16

That's much better when we're talking about sharing links in IRC. Why not use tinyurl? As a side benefit, I can update these short links to point to a new destination anytime I want. A useful link one day, Rick Roll'd the next. :P |
