(Digital Money World) - I know it’s evil for me too and it’s pretty much irrevelant, but I JUST HAVE TO Share this ;)
Have you ever wanted to shorten a URL to share with friends on an extremely long URL? (Say an eBay listing, or a URL from a newsgroup which seem uncannily long? Or even URLs for Twitter, ps. my twitter ID is bensonkoh). Introducing su.sg! A URL redirection/ shortening service.
I know it’s not new, and it seemed like as if tinyurl.com is it’s brother; but I couldn’t think of any better use to this two letter domain. Well if we’re talking about character wise, su.sg’s generated domain is of 16 characters as compared to tinyurl’s 25 characters.
It’s generally good for me as a Realtor whenever I have listings I want to share on the papers, it saves me cost.
Example:
An online flyer of a property like http://investsgproperty.com/IFlyerPhoto.aspx?pID=141&pType=2 gets reduced to http://su.sg/dd04
60 characters is reduced to 17. Now that’s magic! (or is it?)
Feedback to me if you have anything you’d like me to add to this free service. I’ll probably be looking at adding a preview function next so people can see where su.sg brings them to before proceeding.
Try su.sg and let me know if you like it :) Thank you for your attention.
