Why Another URL Shortening Site?

This one's a bit different. One problem with some of the other sites is that the links they generate are not really that short. Or, they issue links sequentially; making their service simple for script-kiddies to play games with.

We issue alpha-numeric URL keywords in a random, slowly growing fashion. As a result, they will be as short as possible.

Why Would I Compress a Link?

We come across incredibly long web site URLs—also known as links, favorites, shortcuts, whatever—all too often. Shortening URLs with gzURL allows you to:

Add gzURL To Your Browser's Toolbar

To create gzURLs at the click of a button, make sure your web browser's links toolbar is visible and drag the following link into your links toolbar.

Make gzURL

This is compatible with web browsers that allow javascript in bookmarks or favorites. However, some web browsers—like the latest version if Internet Explorer—may require you to right-click on the link and accept a security warning to add it to your favorites.
