Old! Resolving shortened URLs
Sometimes you just think of something, start it, and then discover that others have been doing the same. My latest example of this is resolvurl.com.
As I was thinking about shortening URLs and the fact that there quite some services out there, I started wondering about “the other way around”. How to resolve URLs for what they really are.
Without proper investigation (who wants to investigate when feeling all fired up on an idea) I started working on that and then bumped into longurlplease.com. Exactly what I wanted to do! :)
Instead of re-inventing the wheel Ill utilize the longurlplease API. Gives me more time to think of something fun to put around it. .. Probably only to find out someone else already did :)
