What is a url shortener?

A url shortener is a service to take long urls that exists in so many places on the web and make it short. A lot of long urls are just created automatically and are difficult to copy and paste to somewhere else without breaking them, they are not user friendly. Another reason to create a short url is so it can be placed into social networks easily such as twitter. Our pnut url shortening service also allows to create your own customizable short links and QR codes. In the near future we will release a url shortener api to allow more interaction with our current site.
