TinyURL got custom aliases

I’ve just realized TinyURL got custom aliases, that is, you can customize the part of the URL beyond their domain to point to the desired URL. I like it. I had that idea myself some time ago. So now http://tinyurl.com/gnrfan redirects to this blog. Pretty neat, huh? The only problem, in this specific case it’s I’ve got a 17 characters url shortened to 25 :)

It looks like not all words are available. When I tried to point to the RIAA homepage using the custom alias “suckers” I got a message telling me that custom alias is not available and no, it’s not somebody grabbed it before. Seems fair.

What are you waiting for? Go grab your custom alias now!

    Try this URL shortening script. Very cool! Create your own tinyurl.com site. http://eatbytes.com/file/19/tinyurl-com-Clone-rar.html?515912
