TinyURL should be mobile-savvy

As far as I can tell, TinyURL is not mobile savvy.

I get a ton of TinyURLs now via Twitter over SMS and click them most of the time. I am fortunate to have a mobile browser that can handle most things. But, what if TinyURL recognized a phone and sent the browser to a mobile-formatted page, maybe passed through Mowser?

Russ, if you read this: get on the line with the TinyURL guys and inject some mobile-savviness into them!

I actually had a TinyURL like service on Mowser for a while, but no one was using it so I took it off to help focus the site. Tiny URLs are especially handy for sending links via SMS, so it's still a good idea... maybe I'll add it back in again, or better yet, use TinyURL's API to mashup something instead, as people seem to prefer/trust that service.

Thanks as always for the thoughts!

I don't want to type in a painfully long url on my phone. I want to press one button on my phone and have that painfully long url converted into a tinyurl.

hi.
this issue was bugging me as well. So i made a "mobile tiny url" service: http://mtny.mobi/

this one uses mowser to mobilize a webpage.
