6 free URL redirection service

Posted on the January 6th, 2008 under Internet, Tutorial by dicky

There are a lot of URL redirection service. Here, i would like to introduce TinyURL, SnipURL, MooURL, Small Links, urlTea, and 0rz.

TinyURL

I believe TinyURL is the most popular URL redirection service. How-To Geek had shared some tips on How to See Where a TinyUrl Is Really Linking To and Create a TinyUrl the Easy Way in Firefox.

SnipURL

SnipURL offer some advance features over the other URL redirection service. They provide a javascript bookmarklet code to allow you to create a SnipURL within your browser. You can refer to hongkiat.com for more information about SnipURL.

MooURL

MooURL let you personalize your short URL. For example, you can personalize your MooURL so that it looks like http://moourl.com/techsnack. They also provide a javascript bookmarklet code for you to generate MooURL faster and within the browser. You can refer hongkiat.com for more information about MooURL.

Small Links

Small Links is just a normal URL redirection service, but they will show an advertisement page before load the real URL.

urlTea

urlTea comes with a unique feature. They added the ability for users to tag on a question mark and describe the URL however they want, as part of the url. Instead of boring and meaningless URL like http://urltea.com/meaningless, now you can add text so that it become http://urltea.com/meaningless?now-you-can-understand-this-url. But, i wonder why they add this feature? I believe the permalink is more meaningful than this, right?

0rz

I had cover 0rz URL redirector before. They had both english and chinese version.

This is the one that I use - http://www.tiny9.com

It lets you specify tags (keywords) to use in your link instead of generating random ones.
