Of Great Ideas!

So everyone knows about tinyurl and uses it a lot.  It's a great service for our short form consumption habits.  You've got a long URL and you want to make it smaller.  Just like everything that's long.  You want to make it smaller.  Ask girls they'll tell you, "That URL is the perfect size for a Twitter user."  ((Note: That is in no way a euphamism for a Twitter enthusiast's genetalia.  They just only have 140 characters to work with, so bigger won't help any, ya' know?))

But there can be so much more!  What about.... shadyurl.com?  It takes a seemingly harmless URL and turns it into a malicious evil seething monster.  For instance ifiwereawriter.com can turn into:

http://5z8.info/bomb-plans_o7o0np_nsfw.

I like that one because it's an nsfw bomb plan.  Most bomb plans are A-OK for the working environment.  But those are usually "Da bomb plans."  The ones Pete is always trying to get you in on.  "Like later tonight dawg, we're goin to tha club n' we're gettin slozzled outta our minds.  It's the bomb-plans man!"

What else can we do to an innocent URL to make people less likely to click onit?  InivisibleURL.  People will see blank posts from you and not know why.  You'll know it's because you're sharing knowledge with those that are brave enough to click on something they can't see.  It's faith.  It's religion.

It's like when you're using your smart phone.  You were trying to zoom in on a loading website, but your phone, correctly, assumed that you actually meant to click a link you couldn't see.  Because people do that.  Intentionally.  But this takes your phone out of the equation.  People everywhere will be clicking randomly all over webpages to find invisible links.((Note: get some invisible advertisements, the click through rate will be great.))  What do those links lead to?  Invisible webpages.  With awesome invisible pictures of Kim Kardashian.

I want all of you developers out there to start working on:

-InvisibleURL
-U%7&8nrea#3458%5.phpt3=?dableURL
- ------- ---((HangmanURL))

Please link back to this article after those services have been created.  Feel free to link to them only in your mind.  I'll know.
