Desktop usage

Thanks for the feedback. I think that the project needs to make a difference from other URL shorteners services. This isn't another one. It's a mobile one. So, by default the URL works only in a mobile.

Statistics shown that more than 70% of the URL shortened by the service are mobile-specific websites or mobile content (JAR, SIS, etc.). But if you want to use them on desktop too, just click the checkbox. You can also use the "Remember my settings" too, so every URL you generate will be available from desktop if you want.

Good service

And convenient.
One question, though: why forbid desktop usage by default?
Doesn't it go against converging webs?

Hi! Thanks.

In Mobile Tiny URL, the QR codes are generated optionally because I think non-technical people still doesn't know what to do with them.

This URLs use only the first letters of the keypad without duplicating them, so it is the easiest way to type it in the numerical keypad.

I didn't remember your post ;-) This project borned because of one need. I need people to easy install a mobile content and I think this is a very easy way.

Shortening long URLs...

Hi,

It reminds me about my post I wrote some time ago (http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/jacek-wojciechowskis-forum-nokia-blog/2007/05/08/shorten-your-long-urls). I've got a feeling that someone has done the homework right and read the comments section in mentioned post ;-)

In contrary to other services this one is really mobile oriented (e.g. generating of QR codes)!
