Hi guys, I hope Jude doesn’t kill me when I’m doing this. Since I’ve made this website out of goodwill and as service of to fellow Realtors in Singapore, I’d like to extend this invitation to let me share su.sg with you too.
Su.sg (shorturl.sg) basically works like how Tinyurl does, with the only exception that it’s even shorter. (*the irony, LOL*). This works for me since Realtors do always advertise on papers and we’ll need to shorten our URLs to save the cost. Also a good two word domain works pretty nicely when you have a too lengthly url to share and would like to shorten them.
On top of my head, if you use twitter, you could use it to shorten your URL to share too! 
How it works
Simple, say you have an ebay listing url which is fantastically long, (say this particular cool Nintendo wii) like: http://catalog.ebay.com/Nintendo-Wii-Game-console_W0QQLHQ5fPrefLocZ1QQ_fclsZ
1QQ_fifptsZ1QQ_pidZ56833153QQ_sargnZ1QQ_sopZ1QQ_tabZ2
You’ll log in to su.sg and simply shorten it to:
Sweet isn’t it? Though this isn’t new, but this is a two word domain name, which effectively shortens every long URL to 9 characters. Try it, and if you don’t like it. Tell me why!
Cool url..
i am envious, because it is an idea that i have been playing with for sometime, although my plans (if i ever get to implement them) are to make this a site with free members where you can use the system just like in your site, but with the added benefits of your history of urls … plus personilized urls etc. etc.. all have been done though ..)
What i think is missing from your system is the reverse process like tinyurl has .. (i always do check it, to avoid nasty surprises ..) and also the function to set a cookie and thus always make a stop at your site to automatically show the resolved url before going there …
cheers and good luck with it
wow, that’s really constructive Gaby. I’ll take into account on the features that TinyURL has and improvise the version, but you’ll agree the URL name is neat isn’t it?
Gaby, could you toy around and see if the preview function works for you?
Seems to work fine except a small annoyance ..
I initially went to you site through a link in the article. But that link happened to be a http://www.su.sg (the www is the issue).
I enabled the preview function and then tried a few urls ..
they all went directly to the final site ..
i then opened another browser and did the whole process manually but i went to the site as su.sg (no www this time), enabled the preview and indeed it was working just fine ..
It seemed weird so i looked for the relevant cookies and noticed that they are stored as belonging to different hosts..
one is stored for http://www.su.sg and another for su.sg
the problem comes that the su.sg cannot read the http://www.su.sg cookie and thinks that it is not set..
might want to look into this problem as it might cause some frustration to a few people.. (maybe forcefully redirect the su.sg to http://www.su.sg or vice verca.. (dont forget to persist the parameters)
good luck resolving this, and congrats for the first upgrade to the system .. looking better and better
regards
Thank you for your speedy response!
Right I’m looking at the problem now.
I’ve forced access using .htaccess from www. to the default su.sg.
Anything else you think I can add?
ain’t you a busy bee..
I am not a user of such services so my insight is not from an actual point of usage… just what i think would be useful ..
that would be the personalized urls … check out the http://moourl.com/ for a good example .. (you get the function to personilize a url, after you create one ..)
.. and perhaps a more slick interface might add value to it ..
Wow, that url is cute. lol.
