Anyway, to keep on topic:
imho:
Letb.tk is the one that I'd rather use, as I could add my custom URL and the design is more lightweight.
And it has a way to easily make a program to shorten links

I do however like that cuul.tk doesn't just randomize some characters/numbers, but uses a structure that will give the first user the shortest link (e.g. cuul.tk/1, cuul.tk/a) and so forth.
Thanks for your suggestion I am working on your tips !
Now the URL is as short as 2 numbers I am still working on other things !

I suggest you to not allow just 2 numbers, because it can cause problems in the future.

Why should I choose CutURL?
  • Very short URLs
  • No ads
  • Very fast (our Pagespeed score is 100/100, and our ping is between 19-25ms)
  • Easy to use
  • Unlimited number of URLs

Some ideas for you shortener people:

Change the code a bit and make a linkbucks/adf.ly challanger. (as of now, at least cuul.tk will only allow shortening an identical url once (thus e,g. youtube.com = cuul.yk/a even if you submit it a billion times)) (you may still keep the "only shortening" part open for everyone though)
Make a registration system (as you would need that for the LB/ADFLY function)
-Earn money, make a new one just for fun

BTW: Get Group;
in my opinion, a short URL is not only there to be short, but also easy to remember/type in, so your =>.tk would cause confusion for people trying to write down the URL.

Both of you:
Allow people to submit multiple URLs with the API;
E.g. for a code w/o custom URL could be as simple as:
Code:
<?php
foreach($_GET as $url => $null) {
  shorten($url);
}
function shorten($url) {
 /* CODE TO SHORTEN THE URL */
 echo "$url<br />"; //You could do some nifty XML here, or just do something like this, as anyone could explode simple <br /> tags within their code.
}

?>
Thus you could have an api like this:
http://shorten.com/api.php?http://ur...ttp://url3.com

Note that I typed url3.com twice, but the foreach $_GET will only get one of the double (or multiple typed) urls.

Custom URL id, could be given with e.g. api.php?http://url1.com=CUSTOMTITLE&http://url2.com=CUSTOMTITME, in my code $null would be the same as CUSTOMTITLE and $URL would be the corresponding URL address.

I hope I gave you an idea


Just another thing, a simple script to change all URLs within a webpage to a redirect through your website could be similar to this (if you are planning on making a Linkbucks competitor for example)
Code:
<script>		

	function getDomainFromHREF(url) {

	   return url.match(/:\/\/(.[^/]+)/)[1]; //Stolen code, doesn't know where it came from, long time ago ;)

	}

	var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

	var x;

	for (x in links) {

		if(getDomainFromHREF(links[x].href) != "mortenrb.com") { //If the domainname does not equal to mortenrb.com

			links[x].href = "http://shorten.com/r.php?" + links[x].href; //Then the links should go through shorten.com/r.php

		}

	}

</script>

Ok, now I have re modified my script and now http://www.youtube.com/ is http://letb.tk/53 even if you submit it a billion times !

Thx for your suggestion !

Update: Known bug : If you type youtube.com or www.youtube.com or http://www.youtube.com/ all are different things so you get a different URL !

Both are good, but I have some suggestions.

I think LetB.tk should have and about page and a contact page.

Also, Cuul.tk should have an option to opt out of being on the Latest URLs section and it should have an option to pick your own url (e.g. Cuul.tk/abc).

But overall, I like LetB.tk better.
