Welcome to the ne8 shorter url service!
URL Creation is disabled until spam measures are
implemented. Sorry.
The
purpose of this service is to
turn a really long url into a shorter, easily accessible url. This
can be done in two ways: Simply entering the long url into the the box
above, or using the api. Using the api allows you to integrate the
shorter url into your product or service.
Example
http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/25/1149214Can be turned into:
http://ne8.org/c
Ne8.org urls do not ever expire, and there is no limit to the amount of urls you can add.
Roadmap
-Provide a real preview mechanism, screenshot the site and show it in the preview.
-Start optionally using ajax
-Rewrite in ruby and open source
