Save, secure, shorten and share URLS and messages. Pass resources and messages on to friends and collegues, but only let them see them when you want them to! Shorten long URL and complicated URLs into small, compact references. View URL links without sending referrer information.
For example, convert:
http://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fstaycanada.ca%2F prince_edward_island%2Fbed_and_breakfasts.php&rls=com.microsoft:*&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1
to the much simpler:
http://g2u.ca/iu2cbau
or
http://go.time-safe.com/iu2cbau
In addition, make your links or messages active for restricted periods of time, or add password protection so the links are only valid for the people you want! Use for wagers or "I told you so" messages.
You can view the number of times a URL or message has been view by using counter.g2u.ca with your shortened URL:
http://counter.g2u.ca/iu2cbau
If you have password protected your link, you will also need this password to view the counter. You can also specify a statistics username in addition or instead of a password for viewing statistics.
