Tiny Thwap? It needs a better name at some point, but that will do for now.
www.tinyurl.com is one of the most popular spots to shorten a long url. The resultant url is created through an algorithm and is saved for perpetuity on tinyurl. http://tinyurl.com/4scft will always send you to the forum page, for example.
So, putting in an assortment of letters/numbers (short, as tinyurl tends to stay within 5 charcters or so) will often generate some other page. http://tinyurl.com/eggs, for example, will send you to someone's wishlist on newegg.com
Who'd like to do some thwapping and see what we come up with?

Dag, you read my mind. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
PSI redirects back to another tinyurl, psq. And that goes to www.thiedek.com (which I misread at first, of course).
