This is a really useful service. I can see myself using it in quite a few situations.
A few points I'd address:
1. Make sure all the words are really easy to spell. Someone mentioned the word "constituent" in another comment, which is not a word most people will know how to spell.
2. Calling it "the temporary url shortener" doesn't really describe what it's useful for. That's because the "temporary" is not the interesting part. I don't have a good suggestion for you, but think about how to explain the value this service provides in a tagline.
- jazzychad 16y agoagreed. I'd like to change the tagline to reflect the "easy to share links verbally with other people" aspect, but I can't seem to distill it down to a few words... I'm still thinking about it. Edit: ooh, how aobut: "Share links with a shout!" ??
- jackowayed 16y ago"The pronounceable url shortener"?
- theli0nheart 16y agoYou also might want to consider using a string of small words as opposed to a single word. Something like "the big red house" is longer, but easier to type than something like constituent.
- ollysb 16y agoHow about, "short urls you can remember"?
- edanm 16y agoNot so great, since they expire after a few minutes. Remembering isn't that much a part of the service.
