What is URL Shortener?
URL Shortener is a free service for shortening web addresses and other URLs. This is useful in many circumstances e.g. when sending an address to a phone via SMS and character count is limited.
As an example you can turn:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=louth&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=33.219383,38.803711&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Louth,+United+Kingdom&z=14
into something much shorter like:
http://dj-url.appspot.com/aw34
You can also pick a specific meaningful shortened address if you want to, such as:
http://dj-url.appspot.com/myfb
How to use URL Shortener?
Type or paste the address you want to shorten into the box on our homepage and push the "Shorten" button. It's that simple.
If you want to pick a shortened URL instead of having us generate one for you, before pressing "Shorten", click on "Specify your desired URL" and type your choice in the additional box that appears.
