Shrinkify.com/Firefox - FireFox Extension to Clip URLs

Long urls are bothersome. That’s something we all know. Luckily we’ve got apps like Shrinkify which chop those winding urls down to size. Of course, you’re probably thinking that you’ve seen this done a thousand and one times before. However, Shrinkify isn’t your run of the mill url clipper. It’s actually a Firefox extension. This means that you can shrink long urls with one simple click of your mouse. After installation, you’ll notice a new Shrinkify addition to your Firefox UI. Clicking on the Shrinkify button will shrinkify the url of the page you’re on; plus it will copy the shrunken url to your clipboard. And that’s it. You’ve got a nice, tidy url to work with. It’s simple and it’s free.

“Yep, with the Shrinkify Extension for Firefox friendlier URLs are just a single-mouse click away!

If you're familiar with Firefox, you probably already know that extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to Firefox. The Shrinkify extension for Firefox gives you one-click access to shrinkifying the URLs of the pages you visit. In fact, it's so friendly it will automatically copy your shrinkified URL to the clipboard. Best of all, the Shrinkify extension for Firefox is free!”

Shrinkify is dead easy to use. Basically, it makes shortening unwieldy urls faster. It’s achieved with a click of a button. There’s no need to go to a new website and copy and paste a url and wait for a new one to be churned out; you bypass those steps to get to the heart of the matter.

Will users wish to add another extension to their browser, or will they prefer to use a site like Tinyurl? Will Shrinkify add Twitter or microblogging capabilities? What about password protected urls?
