Whatever Happened To PINURL.COM ?

    Hi Everybody,

    I went to use pinurl.com today to shorten an affiliate url and it gives a message that the site is shut down.

    I guess it's pretty obvious that I can't use it.

    Does anybody know if this service has been replaced by another similar service or is there another outfit offering an equivalent service?

    Sites like tinyurl or shorturl offer a similar service but nowhere near the level that pinurl used to offer.

    All help is most welcome.

    Thanks
    Davmac

    I used to use pinurl a lot and was really peeved when it shut down.Any how, I joined a membership site which offers FREE link cloaking software amongst it's benefits and, really amazingly, free hosting of unlimited domains.

    If you are interested in finding out more email me at

    Don't know what happened to them, but this is a good replacement
    http://bit.ly/

    They shorten URLs and tract the clicks like pinurl use to do. They will Twitter your site for you too and it is free.
