Echilon Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm now offering a free URL redirection service at http://neow.in/ . Feel free to use it on twitter or anywhere else. :) Don't forget: http://neow.in/ This was due to the lack of interest in this thread. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/785628-neowin-free-url-shortener/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeley Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't click them. It's hard to tell where they're actually leading to before you click them. For all I know the links could be to some sort of suspicious or compromised site. No tiny urls for me!

He's got a point, if I shorten "www.google.com" it gives me http://neow.in/1T which actually goes here. Works with anything else I have tried, though.

kimsland Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 mail said: http://min.ie made by neowin dev. ok I understand that anything could be hidden in the link and using any DNS Server (I suppose) But the above quoted one works? Which one does neowin want me to use? If I don't hear a response I'll just use "min.ie" I suppose (for really long links) Is that right?
