URL Shorteners
An url shortener shortens urls, making them smaller in size.
For example you can turn:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Be%C5%9Fikta%C5%9F,+Be%C5%9Fikta%C5%9F,+Turkey&jsv=121&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.839416,79.013672&ie=UTF8&oi=georefine&ct=clnk&cd=2&geocode=0,41.071553,29.023276
into http://urX.me/8, making it approximately ten times shorter!

What's urX.ME
XetoWare has finally created it's own url shortener, urX, allowing you to:
- Shorten web addresses for emails, forum posts, blogs etc. which cannot handle long URLs and might wrap them, making them unclickable
- Lower the character count when texting web addresses to a mobile phone
- Hide the real URLs of affiliate links from visitors to your site
- If you dislike a website and have to mention it (e.g. when complaining about it), link via urX.me so that your link does not help the site's search engine positioning
- Clean up bookmarks for social bookmarking sites or sites with low character limits like Twitter
- Obscure your real email address from bots which harvest them to spam (enter an address like mailto:user.name@example.com)
How to Use urX
- Firstly, choose to shorten URLs, emails or text.
- Then enter any long web address, hard to remember email, or text into the big box above.
- When you are ready, click shorten to shrink your input in to a memorable tinyurl.
- Optional, but you can view the number of times your url has been visited by entering a '-' after your shortened url. For example, to view the statistics for http://urx.me/mysite, type http://urx.me/mysite- in your address bar and hit enter!
