Here at URLot.com we want to make the experience of using a URL shortening / redirection service worth using again. For too long have the TinyURL clones dominated the internet, each one providing nothing more than an outlet for spammers to take advantage of.

Well, we say it's time for the people of the internet to have a better choice. URL shortening isn't evil and still has a use on the net. We aim to prove that this field isn't nearly as exhausted as everyone thinks it might be.

With that in mind, we stepped back and looked a virtual wish list of features and accommodations for our users that you just won't find anywhere else. Quality of service is the name of the game, with multiple URL options, previewing, link reporting for spam, stats tracking, and more, we're changing the face of the shortened URL from poorly abused concept, to useful reality.

And how are we powering this operation? Sock Gnomes. That's right, these little guys run across the internet, connecting links from one place to another like an old style telephone operator on crack. They work hard, they work for you. We just pay them in socks. Clean socks unless they screw up. Let's just say they haven't screwed up in a long time.

So if you've made it this far in the page, please, just go check the service out. We promise you won't regret it. It's totally free, it's good wholesome fun, and it looks pretty to boot! And did we mention it's free?
