Hey Ozh, I’d LOVE to play with it, have a domain lying around for the exact purpose (yoa.st) :)

Best,
Joost

Hi,

Would love to have your plugin for Wordpress. I don’t want so spend the money on awe.sm. I think your plugin rocks.
I just need to think of a domain now

Oh, an emphatic ‘Yes Please’.

One thing. Could it is possible to add/import the short codes for pages you’d already shortened? I’m thinking for those of us who have been URL shortening with a ham-fisted combination of scripts and our own short domains.

I have been thinking about setting up my own URL shortener for the same reasons you do (fun and leet). Thought I was going to have to write it myself, but maybe not :)

I think everything GPL is cool. Or at least cool things GPL’d are cool.

Kevin’s comment above does show there is some need.

For me personally, it would be a novelty, but I’ve enjoyed your Wordpress plugins (especially the admin menu plugin), so I’d recommend GPLing it… Then watch watch the supernova of new url shortener sites begin.

Yea, GPL it. I think there is a market for URL Shortener. I have not seen any script that does that yet when I was searching for it and hence I decided to come out with my own but Ozh improved it tremendously.
