Flash URL Shortener

Flash URL Shortener has just been publicly released. It’s labeled as “beta”, but we believe that it’s fully functional (as far as the core URL shortening functionality is concerned) and we are confident of its high quality (zero known defects at the time of release :)). 

• The Web site: http://mq.ms/
• Chrome Extension: http://z.mq.ms/flashurl

We’ll be adding more features over time. Please give it a try and let us know what you think at @flashurl on Twitter or through email at info@flashurl.com.

(Note: Flash URL is hosted on Google App Engine (GAE). GAE “penalizes” free tier apps when they are idle. You’ll likely encounter some long latencies and occasional 404 errors within the next few days or weeks following the initial release, probably until Flash URL gets some traction. Please be patient, and be reminded that these are temporary errors.)
