I'm working on my own URL shortener as well. It doesn't work like every URL shortener, in fact it rather works much like OmniURL, but with multiple website support.
How it works? URLs are formatted like this: http://juju.qc.to/<website ID>/<param1>/<param2>/<paramN>
Some websites supports parameters, such as Omnimaga.
All integer parameters are encoded in base 62 and are optional.
Websites supported:
- b: juju2143.qc.to (my blog) (param1: postID)
- c: Cemetech (param1: postID)
- f: my Facebook account
- g: my Google+ account
- o: Omnimaga (param1: topicID, param2: postID)
- p: jkag's pastebin (param1: paste ID)
- r: ???
- source: the source
- t: my Twitter account
- More to be added later!
Examples:

We have so many URL shorteners now... Nice to know this supports so many sites.

That's a URL I'm going to avoid ;)

Yeah, wanted mine to be different, so I went with a blend of normal shorteners you find everyday and something like OmniURL.

This seems really useful, multiple-site support puts this above the others :)
Why base 62 btw? Seems kind of random :P
-
I think that's the number of characters you can actually use in a web address.
-
62 = the 10 digits, the 26 lowercase letters and the 26 uppercase letters (in that order). Actually, you can use more characters in a web address.
-
Suggestion: An shortening tool like on http://julosoft.org/omniurl.php

I guess some characters are reserved for special purposes, like . # ? / and others.

Next thing I'll do, after perfecting the actual shortening thing. Also it's dot net.

Of course Juju :P You one up me. Your multi-site support is amazing as well.

[15:53:33] <+BrandonW> Runer112, have you given any thought to making that bot use tinyurl so it doesn't highlight me whenever it sends a WikiTI link?
[15:53:44] <+Runer112> umm
[15:53:48] <+BrandonW> Other bots use tinyurl.
[15:54:27] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<Deep Thought> runer112 don't use tinyurl lol
[15:54:41] <+BrandonW> Deep Thought, what's wrong with tinyurl?
[15:54:44] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<Deep Thought> You're gonna end up creating a whole mass of duplicate links.
[15:54:51] <+OmnomIRC> (O)<Deep Thought> I don't think tinyurl checks for old links.
So here's the feature request: WikiTI links!
-
btw, did you take over jkag's url shortener? :P
-
His still works ???
EDIT: Oh wait... O.O
-
No problem, I'll look at this as soon as it will get up again. Because it's down atm.
And I think jkag did something with my shortener.

Oh sweet, Juju made an URL Shortener, cool!
