TinyURL on Steroids
TinyURL.com is a great service. It allows you to truncate a long URL into one short URL that you can easily distribute to friends and associates through social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Ping.FM and more.
The only limitation I saw with TinyURL was that, it allows for one URL per forward. I saw a friend of mine trying to advertise 2 different URLs at once through Facebook, and it was pretty messy and long. So I thought, “Why not forward multiple URLs at once with something better?”
And then I came up with Krunchd.com. Krunchd is a unique service that allows you to aggregate up to 30 URLs into one short URL, that resembles this:
Once this is aggregated, you can always go back to edit the URL set, using a longer URL that we send to you by email. You can send that URL to your friends or colleagues to allow them to make changes to the URL sets on their own.
TinyURL on Steroids! Share multiple URLs at once.
What initially started out as a “TinyURL on Steroids” concept has now grown into somewhat of a collaboration platform, and now that we’ve introduced the “Top 10 List”, it also serves as viable content that will be picked up by Google, providing you with backlinks to your site.
The concept was simple, and the programming wasn’t so bad, especially with the help from my good friend Jordan Brill, who provided the domain name as well as the design concept.
One big difference between TinyURL and Krunchd.com is that we give you the option to set your own short URL hash. TinyURL will assign a random 6 digit alphanumeric character set. We provide that option too, but if you specify a hash, and it’s available, it’s yours to keep for the rest of your life. So go ahead, reserve your namespace now at krunchd.com.

That sounds like a great service. I use tinyurl pretty frequently, I’m going to give Krunchd a try now too. Are you planning a future evolution to integrate photos and videos, too?
