Linkmoji – Turn any link into Emoji
- Khao 11y agoI tried linking to the rick roll video (just as a test url) and it breaks because it seems to lowercase everything. Original url : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Linkmoji url : http://🍕💩.ws/🍍📦🏂🎈🎾🔑 http://🍕💩.ws/🍍📦🏂🎈🎾🔑 After following the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqw4w9wgxcq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqw4w9wgxcq And then you get a 404 not found
- fredley 11y agoI don't think so (at least not all the time), this link works: http://🍕💩.ws/👊🐙🏈👞🐹👍 http://🍕💩.ws/👊🐙🏈👞🐹👍
- inieves 11y agohttp://💰💰💰.shizz.it http://💰💰💰.shizz.it boom! you have rick astley!
- ericnakagawa 11y agoI added support for uppercase after the fact. X_X It's now live.
- mpdehaan2 11y agoThis would be more awesome if it could make URLs without poop in them. Just saying.
- chm 11y agoI was wondering what was the motivation behind "pizza-poo.ws" and the author refers to Linkmoji as "aka pizza-poo" on his Twitter[1]. There are no details on the choice though :) [1]:https://twitter.com/ericnakagawa/status/619048420137787392 https://twitter.com/ericnakagawa/status/619048420137787392
- inieves 11y agotake a look at http://shizz.it http://shizz.it i made http://👿.shizz.it http://👿.shizz.it
- ericnakagawa 11y agoYou can now use http://🆒🔗.ws http://🆒🔗.ws
- Kenji 11y agoI just copy-pasted one of these links to skype. Encoding issues ensued. Everything is just a rectangle and when you click it, it gives an alertbox with: Low surrogate char without a preceeding high surrogate char at index: 9. Check that the string is encoded properly. It seems like Unicode support is still broken in many places.
- na85 11y agoIt's definitely still broken in my browser. This is just "two rectangles dot ws" for me. Chrome 43.0.2357.130 on Debian Sid. You'd think this sort of thing was rare but IME it's commonplace, not least because the average user doesn't really understand font rendering. For example I have no clue where in the stack the error that's causing me to see two rectangles is, and no motivation to sift through arcane documentation to try to sort it out.
- hobarrera 11y agoYou probably have no font for emoji. Installing symbola should fix this.
- toxican 11y agoI pasted it into Skype and it appeared fine, but the person who received it got a bunch of blocks. Had the same issue when clicking it though. Wonder if skype version has anything to do with it? Using 7.5.0.102 myself.

- silveira 11y agoThese links don't work on twitter. :(
- kazinator 11y agoURL shortening is nothing new. (Oh, this uses Unicode characters, pardon me.) More importantly, shortened URL's are harmful. They are brokered through an intermediate site which could disappear or otherwise exhibit amnesia. They can also be used to cloak links to harmful sites. If criminals buy the domain, they can re-write the database of shortened links to go elsewhere, like to their harmful sites.
- gipp 11y agoDude, this is a site intended 100% for joke-based use. Don't worry about it.
- kazinator 11y agoWhat steps are taken to ensure that the uses are aligned with the site's intent? You mean that if I know of a malicious URL, I somehow cannot shorten it using this website, because it is contrary to its "intent"?
- moistgorilla 11y agoConsidering things harmful is now considered harmful. Please stop.
- toxican 11y agoWhile I certainly agree with you on the dangers of URL shortening services, this is pretty obviously a joke / proof of concept type thing.
- ericnakagawa 11y agoTo add insult to injury, I've also created: http://🆒🔗.ws http://🆒🔗.ws :P
- erickhill 11y agoThis is going to be devastatingly dangerous for my company Slack channel. At least for a day.
- sudioStudio64 11y agoI smell a browser parser bug in the making.
- alexpw 11y agoSending these in Adium/jabber instantly disconnects me from the server (same is true for a single pizza slice). Maybe I can still prank someone by emailing them the link and telling them to msg it to me? ...
- andrewstuart2 11y agoOut of curiousity, could you register an emoji TLD? Like, andrew.💩 ?
- edent 11y agoThere aren't any emoji TLDs - check https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt for the canonical list. There's nothing technically stopping an emoji TLD - after all, .香港 exists.
- jetpm 11y agoor 💩.com
- inieves 11y agothere was only one (maybe two) TLDs that would allow emoji domains names.. that was the famous .la TLD and so you saw http://💩.la http://💩.la that was my inspiration for http://shizz.it http://shizz.it shizz.it allows people to create http://👿.shizz.it http://👿.shizz.it or any other emoji character mix, as a subdomain, which is then redirected to any other URL. Thus link forwarding. By making use of emoji in subdomains, you can get around the restriction of no emoji in domains or TLDs. ;)
- icebraining 11y agoNope, the new gTLD program just allows letters a-z, nothing else. https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/customer-service/faqs/faqs-en https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/customer-service/fa...
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoNot true, the new gTLD program allows Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs), e.g. the Japanese .みんな (minna, "everyone"). The ASCII label is not the same as the TLD itself.

- inieves 11y agohttp://shizz.it http://shizz.it i wrote this link shortener... similar idea, but you actually get to choose your emoji mix... which i call a shizz lemme know what you think! try it out... i think its a little buggy.. i had major challenges getting utf-8 stream encoding working properly on my AWS image with MySQL, but it mostly works :) i just created http://👿.shizz.it http://👿.shizz.it try going there! eric, would you like to collaborate?
- lfx 11y agoThis would be great with QR code! Just print link in Emoji on t-shirt, or other surface and write "Check out my website http://🍕💩.ws/ http://🍕💩.ws/ Got problem typing it? Scan QR code!".
- kevando 11y agoCan someone explain how this works?
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoIt's just a link shortener, but using Emoji instead of alphabetical characters. Nothing prevents you from using non-conventional digits for some number base. If I want to, I could make "abcdefghij" be the digits for zero through nine in base ten. If the domain is what surprises you, that's not new. Internationalised Domain Names have been around for a while now, and support any Unicode character (with registrar restrictions to prevent phishing etc.)
- azdle 11y agoInteresting, Firefox can't seem to handle redirecting to another domain that includes emoji: http://🍕💩.ws/🎉🐴🌊🍔💣🍊 http://🍕💩.ws/🎉🐴🌊🍔💣🍊 should redirect to http://🍕💩.ws/ http://🍕💩.ws/
- ericnakagawa 11y agoHi folks, I built this for fun yesterday. Happy to answer any questions. I'm in the process of adding custom emoji urls. :D AMA
