Twitter has set off the need to shorten URL’s and now you can do it with hacker style with ShadyURL.
Everyone from Google to Facebook now use shorter URLs, generally as a result of Twitter’s 140 character limit, but never has there been one with such pizazz.
To the common Internet viewer, a regular URL can easily be mistaken for a phishing site, but to the nerd, ShadyURL can only produce great humor. Although it’s probably only a matter of time until Google and Firefox accidentally lock out the shortened shady URLs, it currently turns any regular site into one that seems a bit “phishy.”
You can either choose from the full length shorten-er, which actually makes them longer, but funny.
The other option is to actually shorten a link, just to make it a bit shady.
