ThnLnk Blog

So not only do ThnLnks work semantically:

http://thnlnk.com/metacritic/The.Best.Books.of.2006/998

And just purely as a moderated shortened URL:

http://thnlnk.com/metacritic/082407/0000003054

(The web site domain “metacritic” and the date of ThnLnk creation (August 24, 2007).)

But now you can remove the padding from the unique ID:

http://thnlnk.com/metacritic/082407/3054

Or at the shortest it can be:

http://thnlnk.com/metacritic/3054

Not too shabby, eh? I think I might make this the default format from now on, as well.
