I guess this is no different from tinyurl.com and others, except that I had some fun implementing this feature for myself, friends and family and I know it'll still be here in a few years, which I cannot guarantee of other websites.
When using Firefox, or any other browser which supports such a thing, you can add a quick-search bookmark with the following properties for easy use:
| Name | it.is-here.com |
|---|---|
| Location | http://it.is-here.com/cgi-bin/magic.cgi?action=add&url=%s |
| Keyword | url |
| Description | Type "url <some url>" to be presented with a short-cut url. |
Enjoy!
