With the proliferation of microblogging services -to to Twitter head where we have only a hundred characters to send our messages, share the address of a web page had become quite an ordeal. Imagine that I share the following URL, with information on Somontano Wine Festival 2010:
http://www.rutadelvinosomontano.com/noticias/festival-vino-somontano-2010-barbastro-114/
Nothing less than 88 characters. More than half of the 140 allowed by Twitter.
To remedy this waste, there were the shortening of URLs, in which web services by forwarding systems and super short domains, URLs are reduced to a minimum. Let us operate with the previous example:
http://u.nu/7j5be
http://bit.ly/a0zgBu
http://tinyurl.com/fvs2010
17, 20 and 26 characters respectively. Furthermore, as can be seen in the third example, some of these services allow you to customize the URL, making it easier to remember.
Well After this brief introduction, let what we want. Nothing less than a URL shortening service with a sharply accented hand
do that are cool with Cachirulo penguins? The service is completely successful, enabling general short URL automatically or customize, without registering or anything:
http://jodo.co/fvs2010
What? Does it work or not? And only 22 characters.
Ah! For Foran, then leave a few instructional videos on the expression
"Jodo, Co!".
