Humongous URL!

Humongous URL!, Projects

screen-shot-2010-06-02-at-75553-amI threw Humongous URL! together as kind of a joke, but I figured I would share it with everyone anyway.  It’s basically the anti-url shortener.

It basically takes a standard url like this:
http://www.google.com

And turns it into something ridiculous like this:
http://www.humongousurl.com/r/38b63de0fec25916c5255387df1532319d68098d3e16ef6d5f5b...

See, I couldn’t even show the entire link without throwing off the entire layout of my site.  That’s how HUMONGOUS it is!

    Hey! I like that! I was thinking, can you do the opposite? Make a long url short? That would be great to promote to people on twitter. I hate it when I want to put a link on twitter and it is so long and it leaves me no room to write. Maybe I just don’t know how to use twitter… Just an idea.
