    href.in

    href.in is a very simple and (maybe) unique url shortening service. It has a very simple, sleak and friendly interface which is also ajaxed, no page reloading.

    You can go to href.in and create a short url very easily, or you can hook into the api and create short urls on the fly from any website or script that you run ( like what twitter does with tinyurl ).

    It has twitter intergration, which posts all new short urls to its twitter page, just a nice little way to see what people are up to.

    Also, what a lovely short url href.in is :D maybe its only the real code monkeys here that will understand why it is though :(

    WHATS INCLUDED

    1. Unique design
    2. Short URL Script
    3. FULL resell rights
    4. Domain name

    the domain name has been purchased on DomainSite.com (cheaper than namecheap for the .in domains) and can be pushed to the buyer, just need to create an account if you dont have one already.

    WHAT ISNT INCLUDED

    1. Web Hosting

    you need to host this on your own server when purchased, don't worry though, all you need is PHP & MySQL enabled web host (who doesnt have it these days).

    As this is just a new website, there isnt any traffic details and no revenue created, however you could easily make money from this, heres a couple ideas how:

    * Adverts

    Put a couple google ads on the index and let the monies roll in.

    * Framed Forwarding

    When someone goes to a short url, you could easily make it so the short urls opened up in a frame within the href.in website, allowing you to put a couple ads at the top of the page.

    Website: http://href.in

    Short URL: http://href.in/im0p7c

    API Example: http://href.in/api_example.phps

    href.in

    Im looking for $400 for this, although you can place bids from $250 upwards.

    Please do so on sitepoint
