URL Shortener | Mx.vc

    Hi friends, I had a two-character domain name, today i decided to use that domain name as URL Shortener service, so i wrote a new URL Shortener script.

    It has just finished and ready for use.

    You can go to site from: URL Shortener

    As an example:

    When you make an alias for the address

    http://www.google.com/

    Mx.vc gives you address like:

    http://mx.vc/bj/

    You can also use the Mx.vc URL redirects to different pages of your site like:

    http://mx.vc/bj/adsense/

    I'm waiting for positive and negative comments.
    Thanks.

    1) it did not accept a domain like this mysite.com and needs the full i.e. http://
    2) Did not refresh to the tet box when above mistake made so needs a back button
    3) definately needs a submit to twitter, facebook, etc tool.

    Now it has a new algorithm

    * Up to 62 shortened URLs - 1 character
    * From 62 up to 3,844 shortened URLs - 2 characters
    * From 3,844 up to 238,328 shortened URLs - 3 characters
    * From 238,328 up to 14,776,336 shortened URLs - 4 characters
    * From 14,776,336 up to 916,132,832 shortened URLs - 5 characters
    * From 916,132,832 up to the current limit shortened URLs - 6 characters

    If you do a wrong url, it should dispaly the message but keep the form. Its annoying to go back..

    You may want to highlight the bookmarklet more prominently. My hypothesis is that more people would use the bookmarklet than come directly to the site. Plugins for browsers should be useful as well
