AppSto.re - A Simple Way To Share Your Apps

Good news: a URL shortener with a difference. This particular tool lets you take the URLs of iPhone apps and have then shrank and tweetable on the spot.

The one advantage of this solution is that the short URL always includes the name of the app itself, and that turns them into more descriptive entities.



For instance, an app named “Write Like Poe” will have a short URL along the lines of “http://appsto.re/writelikepoe”, and not something like “http://appsto.re/43d23t7”. That consideration is far from negligible: people by know have learned the hard way not to click on any link they find lying across the Internet. If they have some way of knowing just exactly where they are going to wind up in advance it is a different story altogether.

Such a feature alone turns this online resource into an appealing one. Personally, I have bookmarked it as I found it very, very practical. I am sure the endless iPhone users out there will also find it a worthy addition to the cause.
