These days pretty much everyone uses short URL redirection services like tinyurl.com. Lately I've been playing around with lenks.net, which has neat place called "My Lenks" where you can store your shortened URLs for future use. If you email back and forth with me for your account, you might see I've shortened your URL with one of these services. I usually use different short url redirection services, but I think I'm about to switch over and use lenks.net solely.
I like the page design at lenks.net as well; Brad Purchase, you are welcome to help redesign our page anytime.
