The Smart URL

I love this simple (smart) idea by Smart: a tiny URLs generator "to park large url's into tiny spaces.

Type in your URL and see how Smart transforms it to fit its dimensions.

Smart car and tiny url, what a perfect combination. Doesn't hurt to get on the Twitter bandwagon too.

I just wish it actually did create a small URL. http://tweak.tk has them beat with a much smaller URL. Still, it is a great idea.

This is a great campaign-- the smart car is exactly like a shrunken URL. Big cars are annoying and gas guzzeling just as long URLS are a pain to type in and remember. So why not get smart by shrinking the car! Two great correlations.

the only drawback is that these shortened URL's aren't necessarily short. It'd be cool if a smart-URL could compete with is.gd or something similar.

anyway, the idea is great.
