u4u.be is live!

Friday, December 4th, 2009

A few days ago, I installed a script called tighturl on my u4u.be account.
It is now successfully working, and you may use it to shorten urls.
You can visit the url shortening page at http://u4u.be/.
I am currently looking into creating an api for my url shortening service, so that others can use it in their applications.
But for now, just visit http://u4u.be/ and enjoy!

url shortener aquired!

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I am writing today to tell all readers of an amazing accomplishment in my url shortening adventures.
I recently aquired an acceptible domain — u4u.be!
I like this name, because it could stand for urls 4 u.
I have a test page up at http://u4u.be/
I look forward to comments and suggestions.

url shortener idea, please comment

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

I just had the idea strike me that I could set up a url shortener.
This would help bring traffic to this site, and would give me another identity on the web.
I was thinking of the domain l2s.be, which is as short as bit.ly, and would stand for long 2 short.
I would like to hear my reader’s perspective on this matter, however.
Would it be worth my time to set up a url shortener? Would there be people who would use it? All questions that need answering.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have about this idea, and I will do my best to answer them.
Also, if you have any questions that also need to be answered, feel free to post them as well in the comments.
