URLXL – Google App Powered URL Shrinker

urlxl

URLXL shortens your URLs using slugs instead of numbers, so they are easier to remember.  After you have submitted your information in, you are given a web page much like this one:

You then have the options to share on Twitter or Pownce.  This new service is also powered by the Google App Engine, which means you can use your Google login info to gain access to it.  It should be really interesting to watch urlxl.net to see where it goes in development in the future.
