Doing it.

Thinking of packaging up a script I'm using for http://urli.ca and releasing it. Extremely simple php app that anyone could code in under an hour. Anyone interested?

Django ships with a redirects app that does TinyURL nicely. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/redirects/

Here is an idea:

Assign the unused go:// protocol to redirect to your own url shortener and create a firefox extension to handle that for the user.

go:google

go:ABCDEFGHIJ

go:QX9RHG03WA

There you have it, the shortest shortener ever.
