What is shortn.me! ?

shortn.me is a service that shortens URLs such as web addresses and redirects the URLs to optimal versions for regular web browsers, iPhones and other mobile devices. This is useful in many circumstances (see below) e.g. in email clients that break long URLs or text/SMS messages that need to be short.

Unique to this service, you can convert several long URLs into one single short URL. It depends on the type device which URL the visitor will be redirected to.

For example you can turn

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Empire+State+Building&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=44.339735,40.957031&ie=UTF8&ll=40.750183,-73.985624&spn=0.039989,0.039997&z=14&iwloc=A

into

http://shortn.me/EQ

Preview

Simply add a hyphen (dash) to the end of the shortened URL, and instead of being redirected to the original long address automatically, you'll be taken to a preview page telling you where the link goes.

For Example

http://shortn.me/EQ-
