With the abundance of online resources, to facilitate sharing and memorization, we usually use URL shortening services. This involves redirecting a shorter and more memorable domain to the actual source URL. So, how do we choose a good URL shortening service? First, it should be free and ad-free; second, the service domain should be easy to remember and short enough; third, the redirection speed should be fast. That's all we need.
URL.ie is a great domain. It’s short and clearly indicates that your source address is a shortened URL. How about the service provided by URL.ie? Let's try it out together.
The entire process consists of only two steps: open URL.ie and enter the address you want to shorten. For example, http://www.xtit.net/post/MeGlobe/. Then click the "truncate" button. A shortened URL is generated: http://url.ie/wva. Isn't this much shorter than the original address? Moreover, URL.ie will also generate a QR code image for this address:
You can scan this image with a QR code recognition system to directly access the website. After reading the introduction, don't you have a bunch of long URLs waiting to be shortened using URL.ie? Click to enter: URL.ie
