Previously, I shared a post on 15+ URL Shortening Services/Bookmarklets discussed. Now, I’ve searched another 3 cool services which provides the shortest domain name for your long web address links.
Have a look @ them below:
1) TweaK is a great and free URL shortening service, which includes a real working Dot TK domain name. It is potentially the shortest URL shortening service, which uses domain name itself as a URL shortener.
Difference between TweaK and other URL shortening services:
- Link shortened using Tinyurl - http://tinyurl.com/ctaacy
- Link shortened using TweaK – http://0v2hh.tk
Original URL: http://webtrickz.com/how-to-upgrade-windows-7-beta-to-windows-7-rc-build-7100/
Shorten URL: http://0v2hh.tk
TweaK also lets you preview and find out where any TweaKed address will take you without having to visit it. To do this, Simply add a slash hyphen (/-) to the end of the domain. On opening you’ll be taken to a preview page telling you where the link goes. eg: http://0v2hh.tk/-
You can also tweet the shorten URL from that page only. Dot TK Development Team is currently working on a Bookmarklet and Firefox Plugin for TweaK.
Thanks Pratyush for suggesting this great service.
2) u.nu – u.nu is probably the shortest URL shortening service ever. It does a great job by product very tiny links which are too easy to remember.
It doesn’t use look-alike characters, such as l, 1, I, 0, and O. u.nu isn’t picky about upper- and lower-case, so you can easily read your URLs to someone over the phone, or send them via SMS.
3) bit.ly – Another link shortening service. There’s also a bookmarklet for it. Just drag it to you bookmarks bar and use easily.
4) Make your own URL shortening service – Amit Agarwal describes a cool trick to make your own URL shortening service in just 3 steps.

You got check out http://i.srikanthmanda.com/urowntinyurl.
It is the One URL shortner to rule them all!
But of course, you got to have a short domain unlike mine.
I decided to use it create simple urls to redirect to profile pages with no vanity urls or with really long urls like Facebook.
But it may be a cool tool to use especially for this site [WebTrickz].
P.S.: This service is the same one mentioned in point 4. Can’t really blame me, the title of the post did me in.
Yeah, Amitji has once again come up with one of the great ideas. This same trick can also be very useful for bloggers to hide and redirect to promotional links.
Even better.. Check out http://smrl.tk/
It’s a service that uses Dot TK to give everyone
a free domain with URL shortening services. It also
gives you instant support for API and bookmarklet!
http://go.af is one of the shortest shortener URL in the world.
