118.hk URL shortening service enriches browser extensions

Website: http://118.hk

118.hk is a service that provides URL shortening.

What is "short domain"? This term is also new to me. Some URLs are too long, and when posted on (micro)blogs or QQ, they don't look good. You can use this website to shorten the address, and you can still access the original very long address using the shortened one. The total length of the domain generated by 118.hk is 19 characters.

Similar to Baidu and Google, the interface is very clean with no extra advertisements. Compared to other short domain websites, there's nothing particularly special about 118.hk in terms of functionality. One notable feature is that the website offers IE and Firefox extensions. The IE extension is relatively basic, not much different from other websites' IE extensions. After running the registration file, an additional menu item "Compress URL with 118.hk" will appear in the IE mail menu. The Firefox extension is more interesting; after installation, a button will be added to the Firefox address bar, making it very convenient—truly a "one-click compression." Moreover, the compressed URL will automatically be copied to the system clipboard, showing that the site owner has given considerable thought to user experience ^_^.
