From the developer:
A new and useful software for your computers. Shorty is a simple tool for creating shorter, human- readable links from long URLs.
You install Shorty on your server, so the links you create with it never go away. You can also manage your links and see how often people click on them.
You may want to check out more software, such as Spirit Soup: The Queensbury Curse, which might be similar to Shorty.
