Title: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: andy on May 20, 2010, 11:22:37 AM I don't really use these sort of things, but some people might like these, which beat bit.ly, though one seems to work in conjunction with it
http://j.mp http://o.ly http://to as a fast way to generate using these, no need to copy a url then go there and paste - instead, when you're still on the web page you want to shorten, go in the browser address window and just type j.mp/ or o.ly/ or to/ in front of the whole url and press return Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: ganjbakhash on May 20, 2010, 01:25:44 PM Beautiful Development!

I suspect that it should be written as www.to ;) ( However, that never seems to work, as it tells you over and over that you have entered a wrong security code. ) :'( Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: andy on May 21, 2010, 01:51:59 PM ok, it worked that way the other day, but now put the . back
http://to. edit: it didn't work for a moment, but does still work the other way to. I mean too. I don't mean too. Oh, never mind, crap joke anyway. Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: andy on May 21, 2010, 02:01:59 PM Aye. I'm sure homemade DIY hackers know how to use it... That's why I don't much bother with these, but there will be times when it's useful to have a short url, for example reading something in a PC browser then wanting to enter it into a phone browser without having to go first to the page it's on and select it Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: mobaholic on May 21, 2010, 02:51:34 PM ok, it worked that way the other day, but now put the . back http://to. edit: it didn't work for a moment, but does still work the other way to. I mean too. I don't mean too. Oh, never mind, crap joke anyway. Sorry andy, that's no better. http://to. is still invalid here:- Quote Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Only www.to will from from this internet connection. ;) BTW this one worked this afternoon:- http://www.to/23fbd :) Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: petkow on May 21, 2010, 06:36:16 PM BTW this one worked this afternoon:- http://www.to/23fbd :) Surely this one is even better:http://www.to/fone ;) Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: andy on May 21, 2010, 07:24:28 PM I'm a bit perplexed about that one, as it doesn't divert but just mirrors - the url is still the same not foneforum
I wonder about security issues if logging in, just tried it with a fake name and it said that doesn't exist, but I'm not going to do it for real Title: Re: world's shortest url shorteners Post by: DevilKid on May 25, 2010, 06:59:46 PM There is also bit.ly but it is not as short as the ones you have there...
