Hey, I just coded this today, just wondering what you guys think. My goal was to code a site in under 10KiB (10,240 bytes, including images) and this is exactly at the limit. It was over, but I just removed some whitespace from my index file to fit it in. This was the simplest idea I could think of, but, is it too simple? Or does it provide just the right amount of functionality?

1.67 seconds at 56-KBS. Yeah fast.

A few words to tell what benefits is derived from this service, etc. I know what it is but many might not. And, does the 'shortened' URL get sent back to you, shown, ? NEI (not enough information). :)

Loads of white space though... I like that. Clean.

for any reason i can't see the site, browser don't connect to the server and report Unable to connect. tried it on firefox 1.5 and msie7 with no luck. i just would like to take a look at your site, my only concern is the amount of content you have in order to achieve a limit of 10kb which i see as a nice practice. i had never been that strict with my site portfolio but i like to keep content simple. can you post an absolute address to your site?

I can't access it now either. It was (from memory) a site that changed long URLs into 'tiny URLs', similar to tinyurl.com

That is a URL-redirection service. If you use the service, you are submitting a 'long URL' (like hypothetical 'mySite_s-This-site@myHostingComany-and-ISP-provider(dot)org' ) and getting a short one in return (like hypothetical "mysite(dot)com") to use in web pages.

Users / visitors to your page/s click that, and are sent to the host site (where the long URL is held) and re-directed to the actual URL. That's my understanding of what occurs.. A useful service really.
