One shortening URL service uses real words (like Mohawk or picture) after the URL to make it more pronounceable :) Regards, Jon Something I saw at another website was that quite a lot of pod casts will quote URLs, which are nearly meaningless.

My only suggestion would be to set up a .htaccess redirect so anyone going to www.url.co.uk will end up at url.co.uk, for optimum shortness. I'll pass the link around instead of tinyurl.com I think :) Just got here through stuffbysarah.net - I think you've done a good job.
