It's a shorter URL site. But you can name the links instead of just getting
a random string (you have that option as well).
Does this seem like something people would use?
For example I want to link to a discussion on mod rewrite: http://wordyurl.com/modrewrite
instead of http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...hread/9100db26
fdf31c86/3f71819b1d5be5a2?q=mod+rewrite+php&_done=%2Fgroups %3Fq%3Dmod+rewrit
e+php%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&&d#3f71819b1d5b e5a2
I'd like to get comments on this! Thanks

Very cool. I had been toying with the idea of doing something like this
myself but now there's no need. I like that you show the most popular
links.

Very nice... I like the stats that you display at the bottom (most
viewed and the others). Would you post a copy of the source?

tinyurl.com and shorturl.com are still chugging along...maybe there are ways
to curb that sort of activity?

Fixed that. Thank you!

By closely monitoring what is added, and automatically suspending links that
get large jumps in the number of hits.
The pause while confirming redirection may put a number of spammers off, but
you'll still get a number cheapskate spammers using it.
Otherwise, tread very carefully.

So there is a pause for you too? Our DNS server is screwy. I thought maybe
it was just me.
dyndns.com does a url shornter, but I don't see too much spam coming
from there. I think that a service like this helps out more so then the
portental it has for spammers. Plus, if a big spammer gets ahold of it,
I'm sure that you'll notice the increase in bandwith and the jump in
usage for that one entry. I'm assuming that you are keeping a database
of all the entries, add another 2 tables into it to record the IP and
the hostname of the user. If they turn out to be a smapper, blacklist
the hostname.

That's already there. I even store the user agent. :)

No, I mean the pause where tinyurl and makeashorter link show you the
redirection before sending the browser to the requested page.
