Sorry for the late reply guys.... Nothing used for cloaking... when you type http://฿.ws into the address bar of any browser it uses the "indicator" of ฿, which is xn--t4c. so xn--t4c.ws/ is the same URL as http://฿.ws... you can do this with a lot of symbols. but when registering the domain you would register the indicator. like i registered xn--t4c.ws because xn--t4c is ฿ so you understand my explanation. |

like Abbie I dont see the point of it. Every time you click it you get a choice of 3 options and you select one and it says no url entered. See attached image screencast.com/t/Zc80u9xiH8z8Google can also shorten a url for you as well and it actually works quite well. If I see a weird url name I am usually out of there because you really don;t know what you are being taken to, I like to know I am going to a legit site with a real url. Graham |

Are you entering a URL in the box and checking a URL to shorten it to? If you click and never entered a URL, of course your going to get an error... Your the only person out of the hundreds of testers I've had that had 'problems' Graham... And you 2 seem to be the only ones worldwide that don't understand the point to a URL shortener... Which is sad for a web developer. Working example links: Link to Google: http://฿.ws/?!=7eY5oLink to different forum post: http://฿.ws/?!=1mI1k |

I understand a url shortner perfectly however as I say if someone sent me a link in an email with any of the links below www.grahamscomputers.summerland.net.auor goo.gl/klZjI would totally ignore the bottom one as it would first appear as spam when I look at it. The bottom url was shortened by google which is found here goo.gl/ and you can also just add that api to your page as visual html if you want. I'm still trying to get my head around your first post. What are you wanting the feedback on all you say is "what do you guys think", then you give the url. Graham |

The feedback I was looking for is like what Frank said above, "works like a champ... what's it used for cloaking addresses?"... And any opinions on how I am able to use a symbol in the URL, as you are not allowed to register ฿ as a domain but yet i use it. Other examples of symbols being used:฿.com¢.com¥.com£.comΩ.comѼ.com✈.comFeedback - Information about reactions to a product, a person's performance of a task, etc., used as a basis for improvement. |

If you were posting a link to a forum post, but the link was to many characters to fit in the text-area and send to them, say in a chat for example, then shrinking the URL so it will fit would be needed...
฿ is known as the baht (Thailand currency symbol) but has recently become more popularly know as a symbol for Bitcoins. The URL shorten-er is based on the Bitcoin community.
