    Hey everyone, this is my latest piece of work: http://www.shrinket.com/
    Can I get some opinions on the look of it, feel of it, and overall usefulness of it?

    Thanks a lot everyone! :cool:

    It puts an extra http:// when i am clicking the shortened link.
    So the url is not working.
    I think u can use some fancy web 2.0 fonts on ShrinkNet
    Overall i like it.
    Nice try.

    I was actually considering that, I might do that if enough people want it.
    Who's up for it?

    Also, I added a "Add to FireFox" link at the bottom, which will add the site to a list of Engines on the top right off FireFox, now you can get your URL's shortened even faster!

    Fix the alignment, try to use a glossy effect on the button.

    I see no alignment problems, and I'm trying to keep it smooth without images :)

    you should setup something that will avoid duplicate URLs so that there is less load on your database.

    It wouldn't matter really, there can be 1,000,000 of the same URL, either way it will be the same.
    Just got a logo made and changed up the layout a bit, what do you guys think?

    1) Take care of Page Alignment
    2) Increase Font Size (We're all done, here's your new URL: )
    3) IF possible add option ( how many links u host)

    Page alignment is fine, your resolution is far above standard, that's shovanistic.
