    Hello all,

    I've built a simple URL-shortening service, similar to Tiny URL, and I'd love to hear some feedback.

    http://flingk.com

    It's only been up a couple weeks, with very few users so far, and I am still refining it when I receive feedback.

    Thanks!

    Looks good but as its based off Tiny's idea it will never be as popular. I would be tempted to use a domain that encapsulates the service offered.

    I see your point. But the domain kinda does encapsulate the service offered. It's supposed to be "fling" (ie, to throw violently) + "link" = "flingk".

    It also means something a little like "cool" in Norwegian :)
