Yes and fair do's to the paper as well - they've given him
a fair crack there, not like these tiny columns you see
tucked away apologising for some front page headline that
later turns out to be totally false.

Is it just me, or does ayone lse feel that
makeashorterlink.com really doesn't do what it says on the
tin?

qurl.net does do what makeashorterlink.com has on the tin.

(qurl is short for 'quick url' btw.)

Irrelevantly, the guy who wrote qurl.net is a genuinely
nice blke too.

All that matters is that the result fits on a single line,
which it does. Other sites Make An Even Shorter Link but
that's just showing off.

I like tinyurl.com myself because it quickly takes you
directly to the destination site with no intermediary 'this
link brought to you by' page - these services are self-
advertising anyway.

No, it does exactly what it says. It makes a shorter link.
Not a very short one necessarily, but a shorter one. Short
enough to fit on a line.

Unless by "shorter link" you have something like this in
mind: http://www.cycleweb.co.uk/cntys/sth/sth19.htm .

But if you feed tinyurl.com a qurl.net link, it makes a
longer link! What nonsense!

But that's not saying it's shorter: only that it's short
