I am working on a new project for a site and I would like to implement short urls. Historically I have used GUIDs as table ids so that replication is not an issue. So, now I'm looking at creating a short url for these values, the thing is a shortened guid is not that short (vs a shortened Int) Before getting too far down a path, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any thoughts.

Hello gang,
I am working on a new project for a site and I would like to implement short urls. Historically I have used GUIDs as table ids so that replication is not an issue. So, now I'm looking at creating a short url for these values, the thing is a shortened guid is not that short (vs a shortened Int) Before getting too far down a path, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any thoughts.
Thanks
