Adam Ginsberg launches ShortenMe.net - another addition to the long list or URL shortening websites.  What is ShortenMe.net anyway?  ShortenMe.net is a URL shortener.  URL shorteners transform ugly, long URLs into short ones that you can email without fear of them breaking - or include in Twitter tweets without using up too many characters.

What the headings mean

• URL length shows how many characters (including the http:// at the front) the shortened URL generated for this site’s homepage was. The first figure is the base length (EG http://shortenme.net/ is 20 characters), the second number is the short code generated (this can vary from 4 to 6 characters at most services - popular services have used up all the 4-character ones already, so it might be good to start using a new service!  The result is that you can expect ShortenMe.net to change to 20+5 if this post is very popular!), and the final number is the total.
• Custom name - whether you can choose your own memorable short-code or not (rather than the random string of letters automatically generated). Not all services offer this feature
  .

It simple and easy to use.  For example, if I wanted to promote something at AdamGinsbergBlog.com I might use ShortenMe.net reduce the number of characters in the URL.  If you wanted to promote an Adam Ginsberg affiliate offer - or any affiliate offer for that matter, you could use a URL shortening service like ShortenMe.net to “mask” and shorten your affiliate link.

I purchased this service for 2 reasons.  First, I thought it would be cool to own a shortening website.  And, secondly I really liked the name.

So, try it out today and see how it works.  Go there now and have fun!

This past weekend I purchased my first Harley Davidson Motorcycle.  After weeks of research, countless hours at several dealerships, even more hours of online research, and negotations with Motorcyle salesmen, I purchased an incredible bike.  To get the whole story - which has a surprise ending, please watch the whole video below.  It’s about 2 minutes and 4 seconds so it won’t consume too much of your time.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the story I tell in the video…if you could post comments below that would be awesome!
