Publisher/Affiliate > Shorten URL
This is a web service for managing long, cumbersome URLs. By using url(x), you can more easily share a permanent,1 redirecting URL with others via email, IRC, or anywhere else you might need to keep things concise.
Long URL:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1263%20Willoughby%20 Ave%2C%20Brooklyn%2C%20NY%2011237&ll=40.705042,-73 .922067&spn=0.015422,0.041137&hl=en
Equivalent short URL:
http://urlx.org/maps.google.com/4550
There are a few similar web services available, and some of them work quite well. While url(x) is intentionally simple, a new feature or two may creep in as time goes on
