    I have just put together a quick website similar to TinyUrl. It is basic and simple to use, I like it that way. Take a look and let me know what you think about the colour scheme, logo and ease of use. Also is this a good potential site?

    Thanks.

    If I don't put http:// in front of the URL it throws a nasty error. Have this fixed and it will look alright

    also, what's "custom tag"? And you should have some footer links with Privacy Policy, About us and the likes.

    It's better if you can integrate mass URL creating to it.Also giving user feature like password protecting their links.
    Your template is good..simple and lite.

    Adding the privacy policy and about us this afternoon. The "tag" button lets you decide what the url of your site will be for example, I did this...

    I entered http://www.liveonlinechat.net as the url for shortening.

    I entered "chat" into the tag box

    The result is this...

    http://www.urlshrunk.com/chat

    Hope this makes it more clear.

    Thank you.

    Got it. Add some help menu somewhere, your visitors will need it.

    Thank you. I will add some wording to the main page to help others understand how to use the site.
