    Do you know algorithms to make short link like tinyurl, bit.ly.... ?

    Tinyurl or bit.ly have API, but I want to write it by myself for more control and maintain.

    Anybody help me, plz ?

    for each request you could simply generate a custom string based on date and time.

    you could also use guid (but that would not be very short).
