* look.fo (http://look.fo http://look.fo) / str8.to (http://str8.to http://str8.to) - a sort of insta-tinyurl that uses Google search results to create on the fly links. For example, see http://look.fo/hacker-news http://look.fo/hacker-news and http://str8.to/hacker-news http://str8.to/hacker-news). Q: Isn't this just a shortcut for (http://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news http://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news)? A: Absolutely, but the shortcut makes it viable to create on-the-fly links to search results (or use str8.to's I'm Feeling Lucky option) in IM conversations, or on twitter, or in emails (I recently told a client to http://look.fo/how-to-use-ftp http://look.fo/how-to-use-ftp) without having to go look up a good answer. Stuff like that. Anyways :).
