Hey, Tim Erickson here, one half of the team that built this. Feel free to ask me any and all questions.

We built this in a weekend because we we're constantly emailing links to each other, family members, colleagues and friends. The problem was, the emails didn't provide much context unless we took the time to copy and paste a segment of the article, or an image. The URLD does this automatically.

Wether you're sending important business articles to coworkers, or lolcats to friends, The URLD will help you send it quick.

I went to craigandtim.com and there's no scrollbar in Chrome :(. I had to highlight text to scroll down.

Ah! Fixed now :)

It looks very polished. One immediate request: a way to create an account without going through Twitter or Facebook. It would also be good to provide a sample of the emails that the app sends - perhaps they're simply lists of links, but maybe not? (Ideally, I would love to be able to edit or customize those mails.)

Nitpicks aside, I think it's a great idea and a very nice interface.

Here is a sample email with one link shared: http://cl.ly/15300W0g002N1n3t2L2O
