Wimbis.com – Shortened URLs

July 13, 2008

Wimbis is a free site that allows you to turn long URLs into shorter manageable ones. Simply enter the URL that you’d like to shorten in the box provided and Wimbis quickly generates you a short URL.

URL shortening is handy for sharing links since a shortened link has less chance of breaking when sent in an email or over a mobile phone. Wimbis also makes its API available for developers who would like to benefit from Wimbis from within their own applications. Unlike some other URL shortening sites that actually pay you to use their service, Wimbis does not have any revenue sharing possibilities at this time but it is an easy-to-use tool that makes links easier to share.

ZipMyUrl.com – Stylish URL Shortening Tool

May 28, 2008

One consequence of the web’s growth is very, very long urls. Not only are the things everywhere, they also happen to be rather annoying.

They tend to break and are, more often than not, hard to paste. ZipMyUrl’s one goal is to fix that. It tidies up those windy web addresses and turns them into neat, crisp, short things which you can handle with ease. To use it, just enter in any web address and hit the zip button. You can even zip multiple urls at once, simply by leaving spaces between each address. The resulting url will look something like http://zipmyurl.com/wtjsm. Zipped addresses can be made private and they can be password protected. You can even add tags to your addresses. Besides that, if you sign up, you’ll be able to publish your urls directly to Twitter or delicious. Most recent zips are displayed on the homepage.
