[REVIEW] URL Shortening + Personal Bookmark = MinMu.net!

**AstroNyu** · 20 January, 2009, 14:14 PM

So what is MinMu? A Standard URL shorten service? Nope! MinMu allows you to combine several URLs into one simple short URL page. This means you can link to several sites from a easy visual page. So next time you need to link to several URL's don't waste space on your site or on the forum, let your users use MinMu!

Everyone and his dog have a URL shorten service and a favorite bookmark service, and sure they are sometimes helpful, but they are sometimes limited. What if you could share many websites under a 1 small URL? Well with MinMu you can! Think of MinMu as a personal url shorten service combined together with a personal bookmarking service? Users enter as many URL’s they like into the homepage, then next they are given their MinMu page which lists all of the sites as thumbnails, and also provides warnings if a site contains a virus.

MinMu is fantastic for bloggers to share a massive list of sites, or for users to email a quick link to get access to many more. MinMu itself is unique, using a custom unique script and unique design!

MinMu has a feature where upon generating MinMu page, you will be given 2 sets of links - 1. Your MinMu page link and 2. Your MinMu delete link. We thought that users might want to list all their favorite sites and want to be discreet about them so that is why we generate a delete link incase you are no longer want your list of sites visible on the site. This delete link will only visible to you and only you.

So, guys and girls. Please voice out your thought on this site. I need your support. Any reviews, suggestions and even critics are welcomed.
Have something that you think should be on the site? Voice them out so I can put in my to do list.

Nice idea!

But, I as thinking about a more 'web 2.0' design

The concept and the name 'spoke' about a """"web2.0""" site.

Btw, it's a great site wth a lot of potentiel if well promoted

Yeah it's a great idea, but I would keep the site much more simple

Just like the 'inhiding' glype or phproxy theme.. with content, and than the form...

Not so big as it is now

"Simple, but clean; the way they like it"

Care to explain what are you trying to say here?
The site IS NOT a proxy if that what you mean. Please read the thread.

Thanks for the reviews.

I have update the site adding a few unique idea that will add more value to the site and making it more customizable.

Things that recently being added:

Type Any 5 Numbers
This is a simple captcha to prevent bots from abusing the site. Simple isn't it?

Title for your MinMu
This is the title of your MinMu page. Title can be seen on top of any browser. Good for search engines.

Your URL Title:
This is for you to specify a name for your minmu link. For an example: http://minmu.net/testing70/. (no spaces). This title also being shown on your minmu page.

After your page generated, you will be given:

This is your Main MinMu Page Link
This is the link which you can share with your friends and other people.

This is your MinMu Update Link
This link is for you to update your minmu page in case you want to add or delete a link on it. You can even rename your MinMu page!.

This is your MinMu Removal Link*
Obviously, this is the link to delete your minmu page.

I will be adding more features time to time so appreciate if you can comments and give me as much suggestions as possible.

Thank you.

Slightly too simple. Bots could easily get around that.

I know, reason it is too simple is that I need to focus on building user base. When the site well known to others and being used widely and maybe if it getting error caused of bots doing damages, maybe then I will update the captcha system.

Thanks for the review.
