Alex - TwistUrl.com :: Make Long Url Short   2008-09-30 23:17:59
Gravatar image TwistUrl.com is a new service that lets you take long URLs and turn them into very short ones. How many times have you received an email with a huge link to a URL or had to send one to someone causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together?

TwistUrl.com eliminates that problem. Create a Twist URL that won't break in email postings and will never expire.

TwistUrl.com is Absolutely free,

Ape URL - Ape URL   2009-05-06 15:12:21
Gravatar image Don't forget http://apeurl.com

They also have a full developers API with JSON and XML access, so other people can use it inside their web apps, flex apps, websites etc.

Very uncluttered and simple interface, an option to add a custom tag, and it's all AJAX driven so it's very fast to get your shortened URL.

And they have a cute Ape! :)
