ThnLnk Blog

I changed the ThnLnk “apps” interface to be a little more robust:

http://thnlnk.com/[app]/[query]

So, for example:

http://thnlnk.com/mv/02110

http://thnlnk.com/mv/Somerville, MA

Other official apps:

• mp  - Google Maps
• tr - Google Maps with traffic overlay
• we - Weather.com on an hour-by-hour basis
• ye - Yelp.com look-ups by restaurant name (to your default city)
• rv - USPS reverse zip code look-up, i.e., find what cities/towns are in what zip code
• sa - Skreemr MP3 search by artist name (at least 1 min. in length, 128 bitrat)

Hm. I started with a one character code (e.g., m for maps, t for traffic, w for weather), but then realized that doesn’t scale. I moved to the current two character code. Should I go up to three characters instead, e.g., map for maps, tra for traffic, rev for reverse?
