Slightly Off KIlter

Normal is overrated

Shortening URLs

Which URL is easier to remember, send via email without breaking, etc?

http://quizilla.com/users/laur/quizzes/Which%20famous%20feline%20are%20you%3F/

or

http://xrl.us/catquiz

If you didn't have much difficulty deciding the second was "better", you'll want to know about the Metamark Shorten™ Service at
http://metamark.net/.

Some related tools are also available, including a pair of "bookmarklets" (one in a popup window, the other not), and a
Services menu item for Mac OS X.
