In2s.us - Yet Another URL Shortener

Complaining about things which come our way uncalled is too easy. For example, did we need a remake of “The A Team”? Every 80s kid would scream the answer in your face, but we are getting it anyway, with Liam Neeson as John Hannibal Smith, and the guy from District 9 as Murdock.

The sentiment on the web is vitriolic, but if people just sat down and thought about the fact a whole new public will learn about the classic series that would make it easier on everybody.



It is the same with these URL shorteners. Nobody asks for more of them to come along, but they do keep rolling in at an alarming rate. It is best to focus on these things they do well. In the case of In2s, it is fast and it reduces links so much that it even makes it possible to memorize them for ulterior use. And analytics are provided for studying any campaign you aim to implement, too. You can see who clicked what and when, and figure out how to modify your campaign on the go.

Will this make people stop using a service like bit.ly in masses? Obviously not, in the same way that the new A Team movie will be dragged around the coals. Good intentions only go so far, and that is the sad conclusion that is drawn in these cases.
