whit me – encurtar url
sites 3 Comentários »
O whit.me é uma ferramenta online para encurtar url de tamanho astronómico.
O Rui Lopes é o responsável por mais este endereço na WWW.
Características do whit.me:
- Short URLs: well, it’s the main purpose of the service. whit.me’s have a typical length of 21 chars (e.g., http://whit.me/XXXXXX), but they can be reduced to a 16 chars count;
- Automatic redirection: by default, following a whit.me URL will automatically redirect to the linked Web page;
- Manual redirection: to prevent URL obfuscation (which can lead to annoyances such as spamming or rick-rolling);
- Custom aliases: to help making short URLs more user-friendly;
- Bookmarklet: always useful, to lower the entry barrier on interacting with URL shortening services;
- APIs: JSON (and JSONP) APIs provide simple endpoints to help flourishing an ecosystem built on whit.me’s shoulders.
O Rui Lopes descreve algumas das melhorias que a whit.me apresenta em comparação com os outros serviços do mesmo género:
- High availability: whit.me sits on top of Google App Engine, which ensures a high quality of service for whit.me and, consequently, ensures that whit.me short URLs will not suffer from link rot, or even service unavailability;
- Multiple URLs: few services allow linking to multiple Web pages. It has often been one of the key problems with the Web, on-to-many links (in comparison with other hypertext systems);
Annotation: additionally to the URLs, one can add a simple text note to enrich the context of the linked Web pages; - Integration in Web sites: By embedding a script into any Web page, existing whit.me URLs become active, by displaying a drop-down menu in-situ with all the URLs (view example);
- iPhone-friendly: URL redirection pages also have an iPhone friendly user interface, which can be used e.g. for the creation of start pages for Web navigation (and properly bookmarked to the Home screen).
