Avoids URL E-mail Breakage
Many URLs tend to be very long and if you have ever sent or received a long URL in an email message, you may have noticed that it wrapped into two or even three lines. This often breaks the active status of the link and turning it into what Imagination Corporation calls a "Humpty Dumpty" link. That is, you cannot click on it or copy and paste it into a web browser in one move until the recipient cuts and pastes the link "back together again". ZippedURL makes URLs shorter, eliminating these problems.
The Zipped URL Redirects to the Original Source of the Long URL
When a user clicks on the ZippedURL it will redirect them to the web page addressed by the original long URL. The redirection is free and never expires, so you can even post the ZippedURL into documents and web sites as well as emails.
Hide Affiliate Links
ZippedURL is a useful tool if you are publishing affiliate or third party content on your website and you don't want people to know what the true URL is because it might give away too much information. By Zipping a URL the true source of your affiliate or third party service provider will be hidden from the visitor. Only the zippedurl.com address and the automatically generated ZippedURL.com suffix will be visible.
Small is Better
A Zipped URL is easier to read on small screens such as Palm Pilots, PDAs, Cell Phones and Mobile Phones.
ZippedURLs Work Best in Internet Communities
It is much more convenient and neater for both the author and reader to post or read ZippedURLs in Internet community websites such as chat rooms, discussion boards, online forums and blogs.
Internet News
