Shrinkntrack: Get Your Own Link Shortener
Posted in Products, Shrinkntrack - August 12th, 2010 by admin
It’s August 12, 2.04AM for me and I’ve just finished setting up the front page and secure download section for Shrinkntrack. which means it is available for free as of now. Final testing and tweaking is done and I’m not confident that this first release will work just fine.
I’ve tested installations on various linux servers and I was able to install it within 5 minutes on most of them. Some hosts do not have freetext, a PHP option, but it is easily added. You need PHP 5 and MySQL for it. All modern hosts support the simple system requirements. If your host doesn’t it is probably time to move.
So what can you do with it?
- shrink an unlimited amount of links
- 10 different types of protocols: email, http, ftp, …
- graphical statistics for all your links
- referrer information: both top referrers and last 100 days listed
- live ticker that refreshes every 10 seconds
- keep separate notes for each shrunk link
I’ve been using the tool myself for a while now and must say it’s working beautifully. I am quite sure the script is secure and fast, I’ve done my best to limit the amount of database queries.
