Big In Japan an Architel Company
Welcome to elfURL, where we make giant URLs shorter. Some say our elves make the smallest URLs around. Our URLs are not ’tiny’ but they certainly are small. Why use our elves? They provide free stats, rel-tags tags - that’s why!
We are on rails!
This is the new elfURL version, totally redone from scratch using ruby on rails. Woot!
elfURL is just one of the Big in Japan tools. Big in Japan is an integrated toolkit for prosumer bloggers. Say your own social media projects are taking off, but you’re overwhelmed with the mechanics of running, tracking and promoting your sites: Big in Japan can make you Big in Japan. And Jersey City. And Genoa. And Jakarta. You get the drift. Build your own global microbrand using these tools.
We started off by building little widgets that helped us in our daily Web lives (for our consultancy Weblogs Work and our own blog projects). We built a URL shortener with Web 2.0 features called elfURL. And some other things. Then we decided that it would be even better to have an integrated workbench so we could mash up widget functionality as we liked. Enter Big in Japan is a set of Ruby on Rails apps touched up with with Ajaxian gee whiz-ardry. Built to mash.
We have ten tools so far, but are always looking for the next thing.
