Neowin Free URL Shortener

[Echilon]

I'm now offering a free URL redirection service at http://neow.in/ . Feel free to use it on twitter or anywhere else. :)

Don't forget:

http://neow.in/

This was due to the lack of interest in this thread.

This is cool. But what do admins say about this? :)

That is some cool stuff! Nice, I will use it for some of those long links.

[Steeley]

I don't click them. It's hard to tell where they're actually leading to before you click them. For all I know the links could be to some sort of suspicious or compromised site. No tiny urls for me!

For your free @neow.in address, send an email to [email protected]

^What does "address" mean? Is it a custom neow.in URL or an @neow.in email or what? And good job on grabbing this url :)

@'s don't generally appear in URLs ;)

Already use TinyURL.

He's got a point, if I shorten "www.google.com" it gives me http://neow.in/1T which actually goes here.

Works with anything else I have tried, though.

Why does neowin forums report TinyURL as spam?

I'll type the link here and show you: http://<< spam >>

Good write up on URL shortners:

http://min.ie made by neowin dev.

ok I understand that anything could be hidden in the link and using any DNS Server (I suppose)

But the above quoted one works?

Which one does neowin want me to use? If I don't hear a response I'll just use "min.ie" I suppose (for really long links)

Is that right?
