Short Links Service
Overview
Similar to TinyURL, the Short Links service lets you shorten lengthy URLs. However, the service will only shorten specific domains in The University of Texas at Austin family of Web sites.
The URLs generated by the Short Links service are easier to share in e-mails, through instant messaging (IM), and over the phone.
With the Short Links service, you can do the following:
- Create shorter versions of long URLs
For example, http://www.utexas.edu/its/news/072008/iphone20.php becomes http://links.utexas.edu/dkswti. - Track the usage of the short URLs you have created
- Download tracking statistics in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
