Not sure how many of you out there use a URL redirection service such as tinyurl, is.gd or snurl. They come very handy when you’re trying to take a long url like:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=des+moines+iowa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=44.879582,87.714844&ie=UTF8&z=12&iwloc=A
Into something that's a bit more manageable:

How can you do this within your ASP.NET application? Well, check out miniurl on CodePlex. :)
What is miniurl?
The miniurl MVC application is a very simple example on how to use MVC and URL Routing to create a URL Redirection service. That means you’re free to download, change, whatever-else-you-wish-to-do-with the code.
Really, go nuts! :) If you want to comment anything about the project, please start a discussion!
