I have been wanting my own custom URL shortener ever since I saw Tr.im relinked one of my old links to an inappropriate website. Although Bit.ly is now the largest URL shortener on the web I’d rather have control myself. With that said, I purchased IMGRY.NET and I am using Lessn from Shaun Inman (also brought Mint tracking to the world). Even better is that Shaun created a way to track the Lessn links on Mint.
Currently Lessn doesn’t is a password protected URL shortening system so it’s not for public use but if Shaun makes an update that allows others to use it I might make it available to everyone. Who knows what the future holds!
Example: http://imgry.net/d will bring you to this URL. Give it a try!
