Cool service, interesting take on URL shortening and sharing.
Wonder what their business model is?

Less of it
Nice quote, I totally agree with it.
“No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it.”
Alan Cooper.
So today as an exercise, I bumped this site’s theme from 0.97 to 0.98. Mostly minor changes to reduce clutter. Added some color to the links to improve usability. Some minor changes to improve multi-language support.
Still far from beautiful and cool…
