Two More URL Shortening Services
Yesterday I told you that you can now shorten your URL on niceURL using other services as well. Today I want to emphasize that by telling you that we are supporting two new outside services: Cli.Gs and Kl.am.
That's all for now, but be sure more things are coming up really soon!

As I was saying yesterday, niceURL is an evolving project. It launched yesterday with nothing more than a page where you would enter the long and ugly URL and get a nice and short one, perfect for sharing on microbloging sites (read Twitter) and other places where keeping it short is a must.
But that was niceURL v0.1 ...
A day has passed and niceURL has grown [ it's v0.2 right now :-) ], becoming even nicer and a lot more useful. And it's pretty easy to see that I'm right when I say this: just head over to the website and look just beneath the huge box where you enter the URL you want to get shortened. You'll see a pink select box. Well, using that select box you can generate short URLs using not just niceURL but other services as well (TinyURL, Bit.Ly and Is.Gd at the moment). And when you are selecting one of the two domains that niceURL is available on (http://nurl.me and http://niceurl.me) you will also be able to create a niceURL with a custom slug, like http://nurl.me/nice which goes to the initial niceURL post here on my blog.
Another nice addition was developed with other developers in mind and that is an API. It was an expected step with a project like this and it helps both the 3rd party developer have access to a URL shortening service and niceURL grow. A win-win situation.
Having said this I urge you to keep an eye open for even more features coming to the project. Really soon.
