What is it good for?

Why should I use this service?

Have you ever faced the situation when you wanted to send a website address to your friend but it was simply too long? As an example we can take the address which would lead us to the Paris on the map :
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=48.855454,2.355881&spn=0.143894,0.347099&z=12

As you can see this is not the kind of address you would like to share on twitter or even remember. Therefore there is our service. Enter the website address you want to share into Long address field and click Create short URL button. The short address is automatically created for you and you can start using it (send to your friend for example). In our case it would be something like this:

http://lnk.sk/acfj

You have option to fill Your alias field (for example "Paris"), and the system will try to create short address using your alias:

http://lnk.sk/Paris

Isn't it better? And if you are Firefox user don't forget to install the addon which will help you to create website shortcuts with just one click!
