My URL Shortening Service
As part of my continuing effort to take over the world, I’ve created my own personal url-shortening service: http://uvurl.net.
Just for the record, mine is NOT implemented as Jeff Atwood describes in URL Shortening: Hashes In Practice. It’s actually much easier than creating an “aggressive hash.” Each URL is assigned a sequential numeric identifier, which is converted into base-36 with one PHP function. (Why PHP has a function for converting number bases is beyond me, but there it was.) Voila.
