Slashdot Mirror

This place makes those hideous 4- or 5-line URLs that you want to post into e-mails or whatever into much, much shorter URLs. It's nice, it's quick, it's easy, it's good.

This or this?

What sites are you talking about?

The DMCA part was a joke, but the discrimination against Mozilla users is real. For example, click this link with Mozilla, and you get "You have accessed this page because you are trying to view MeTV in a browser other than Internet Explorer. To enter the site, please click here and download the latest version of Internet Explorer. (Mac users click here.)" For more such bugs click here.

Now watch them lose 30% of their market when AOL 8.5 for Windows switches to Gecko. (AOL for Mac and CompuServe for Windows have already switched, but AOL for Windows has more market share.)

who is a rabid lisp loser.
Please stop posting crap from people like him.

You mean like this?

Here is another mirror.

I always though that this site was a truly inspired idea! For anyone who hasn't been there, you just put some godawful long URL in there, and it translates it to a reasonably small URL (the URL actually goes to their server, then is redirected to the real site after a couple of seconds). No adverts, simple to use, works great!

(No, I don't have anything to do with running the site :-)

Come on, pal, make a shorter link!

I guess somebody better break the news to Make a Shorter Link that they are going outta business!

Linkified.

If you're going to give a url, you can at least make a link out of it :) .
i was going to offer to make a shorter link, but for some reason that site is mutating the map url into something that yahoo can't recognize (it either points to rockaway new jersey, or it just doesn't point). not sure why, it's never been a problem before. oh well, the one above should work, but in the future, when referencing a really long url, makeashorterlink.com rocks...
