Simple URL: Easy URL Shortener V1.5 Sep 9, 2009 7:07:08 PM

Use this Application to turn long urls into small simple urls with ease.

Do you often visit sites with really long URL Addresses? Do you also wish to easily send a link for this website to others?

This Widget can help you out. This takes any url and converts it into a small 22 character long string to be used at any time. This is done by using the services over at Simple URL.

If you wish to also keep track of past URLs you have used before, you may wish to use the Ident feature. The Ident textbox is a a max 10 characters input from you that can be anything you wish. If the Ident is used, it will be stored with the URL on site. If you click on the "My URLs" tab, you will be able to view all of your past submitted urls. This allows you to save and load past URLs you liked and want to revisit again.

You will also be able to choose which Simple URL domain you would like to use. These include: simurl.us, simurl.net and simurl.org.

Change Log
v1.5

simurl.tk and simurl.co.nr? I don't see those as existing. (well, as real domains anyways)

I'll prob make a general simple use "short url" widget that the user can select which one(s) they want this weekend or so.

How about .tk, .co.nr?

Not sure if u can, but i saw that .tk just released a thingy to to do what this widget does[but not for opera :frown:]

Most likely I will prob not. Only due to the fact that i made simurl.us.Though, perhaps I might make them anyways. But, you can always use this one :smile:

There should be a new update of this coming soon, sadly hasn't been approved yet (been sitting around for almost a month :frown: )

Edit: Actually, I think i might eventually, like combine them into one big easy to use widget.

Don't worry, in V1.3 I made it into a text box so everyone can select all and copy very easily. Sadly I was hoping it would of been approved Friday, but has not yet. It should be available tomorrow here hopefully.

:smile:
