Fun with URLs

| No Comments

For my work-work-job (the one that lets me pay my bills and gives me insurance), I work with URLs a lot. Some of them are normal and some are completely off the chain, like this:

http://www.exampleurl.com/BC3/dirmod.asp?sid=5A1714C7275342D19D6D1B4015944C55&nm=categorys&type=subcategory&mod=Subscribe&tier=1&id=E51F5E447D7B44C0B91253A8CA15CED1

And then there are services like TinyURL to shorten things like that.

http://irvingplace.net then becomes http://tinyurl.com/ycntk8o

But you all knew that, right? How about kicking it up a notch? For that, let's start with ShadyURL, which will take a regular URL and make it long and suspicious.

http://irvingplace.net then becomes http://5z8.info/-?php-deactivate_phishing_filter-48-_e0t3j_refugee-murder

Looooovely. Who wouldn't click on that? Scary not your thing? Maybe SoCuteURL is more your speed. It takes a regular URL and makes it a bit more kawaii, like so:

http://irvingplace.net then becomes http://www.socuteurl.com/pixiedust

Ta-da! Have fun, but be responsible kids.
