If you like to exchange the occasional obscene website with your co-workers but are a good enough colleague not to want to get them into trouble, NSFW will allow you to continue this practice with a clear conscience. NSFW is a simple little application that converts long links into short ones, gives them a squeaky clean name and warns the recipient that the link might not be appropriate to open if their boss is standing over their shoulder.
Making a shorter, safer link is simple, just go to nsfw.in and type in the name of the URL that you’d like to convert and you will then be given a clean alternative. NSFW does not require that you register and they clearly state on their page that they will not hit you with tracking cookies or store any of the information that you enter, so your secret is safe with them.
Nsfw.in In Their Own Words
“Ever clicked a link and felt embarrassed with the content in front of your co-workers? Ever caught unaware because the funny link your friend sent was a little beyond funny? Make a shorter safer link!”
Why Nsfw.in It Might Be A Killer
There are a number of sites that allow you to enter long URLs and have them shortened but NSFW is the only one that warns the recipient of the nature of the content so that they know not to open it in an inappropriate situation. Sounds simple enough, but more than a handful of people have lost their jobs for inappropriate use of the internet while at work. NSFW could become the URL shortening tool of choice for corporate America.
Some Questions About Nsfw.in
Will people use NSFW on a mass scale or will they be dissuaded by the fact that it requires that the recipient take an additional step before being able to view the link? Perhaps they could consider adding a check box on their page that would allow users to specify whether the link is inappropriate or not? If the link were classified as appropriate then NSFW could act as a standard URL shortener.
