Short.ie
Posted in new sites/links on 01/26/2009 10:10 pm by Laura CzajkowskiEvery now and then I like to try something new and see what all the fuss is about, I am also more inclined to use something that is Irish as I do like to support my own. So when I see Irish companies offering new products and services I jump at the chance.
The guys over at Echolibre and Webstrong have come up with short.ie, which shorts long winded and annoying URL’s into something more pleasant to view. The main feature that I like though is that I can personalise the shortened URL like following link I can see or have an idea what I am linking to http://short.ie/echolibre-blog, because I’ve also created an account within the site I can also see my top 30 previously sho rted links which is called a public timeline
Why not give it a try and the lads are great for taking suggestions, it started off having the http:// in the shortening bar and they removed it once it was pointed out that was confusing, they are looking to intergrate it into twitter, so you can shorted and post direcly when you are logged in to your twitter account. Lots of great ideas and it’s great to see these kind of things happening.

Thanks for the Post Laura,
Glad you’re enjoying the service. We’ve got lots of new things planned for short.ie, it’s a very exciting project to work on.
The response we’re getting from the community has been extremely positive. It feels great to know that people genuinely appreciate the service and the features it offers (which we’ll be adding to significantly over the coming months).
Thanks again,
Iarfhlaith
