Had some crazy ideas about URL shorteners today.
Imagine that you have a short url like "goo.gl" for example, traditionally this would be used to provide people with short urls like "goo.gl/AAAA" where "AAAA" is a random string... this would take the user to a website that the server at goo.gl associates with "AAAA".
Idea 1:
goo.gl/AAA belongs to me and the next character is the article I want to link to, so:
goo.gl/AAA0 is my first link and goo.gl/AAA1 is my second link. this could also be done with an extra / so goo.gl/AAA/0.
Idea 2:
sinbadev is my twitter account so, sinbadev.goo.gl could be a link to my twitter page, my first shortened link would be sinbadev.goo.gl/0 and then my next shortened link is sinbadev.goo.gl/1 and so on.
Idea 3:
sinbadev.goo.gl/* or goo.gl/AAA/* links to sinbadev-benjie.blogspot.com/2011/04/*.html
This way I only need to make one shortened url and can just include my latest article.
These ideas could all be combined and we could make use of other valid url components too.
Does anyone know of any existing url shortening systems that support one or more of these concepts?
