I would like to introduce the new tinyurl service from here at mjlab.com.

http://url.mjlab.com/

For all who don’t know what what a tinyurl service is, let me quickly explain it. The problem is that some websites have ultralong mega urls. For example here is multimap link to the city of London, UK:

http://multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=530000.687257467&Y=180000.911348558&gride=530120.687257467&gridn=180515.911348558&scale=100000&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&lang=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&localinfosel=&local=&kw=&srec=0&mapsize=big&db=freegaz&rt=

As you can see, its pretty long and unwieldy. A tinyurl service allows you to turn that big url up there, into this:

http://url.mjlab.com/0kl7u

A much nicer, neater looking url.

I didn’t write the code for this (I could, but why reinvent the wheel) . No it’s nanourl, and it written by msblabs.org and released under the BSD license.

Now I give permission for my tinyurl service to be used by anyone for personal, or development use only. Only I am allowed to use it for commerical gain. *EvilGrin*. I also reserve to remove or change the service in anyway at anytime.

Thats the legal bit out of the way, basically, if your nice with the service, and don’t abuse it, it stays up for all. Otherwise it closes up for my access only.
