There are several URL shorteners out there. They are particularly useful for services that limit the number of characters you have to work with such as twitter. If the others out there aren’t short enough for you, check out Tinyarro. Tinyarro uses unicode characters to do this magic. This post for example is http://➡.ws/꡴ದ instead of http://ribbed.us/internets/worlds-shortest-url-shortener/. The service will take you to a splash page with the long URL so you know where you are being directed to.

http://u.nu creates URLs as short as TinyArrows' but with characters that anyone can easily type (or read over the phone).
hmm, it uses numbers? … what happens when a million people start using it?
http;//z.pe is of the same size and it doesn't use those weird characters
Thanks for recommending this unique URL shortener. I generally use http://aafter.us/ while Twitting. But, I will try the referred one, too.
