About the funny new linkblog urls

About the funny URLs you might have seen in my linkblog flow on Facebook, Twitter or in the feed.

I’ve had a domain for a while looking for something to do with it.

The domain: pocalyp.se.

It’s really sweet because it’s designed to have prefixes like trump, tech or dave. It’s place where I get to have some fun. Technically it’s a URL shortener, but oddly the URLs often are longer. ;-)

I know it makes the links more fragile, I’m backing them up in static files so if I stop using this software, I can revert to a static server. It’s not a bad backup, I’ve used it before.

The great thing about it is that it’s a way of categorizing and grouping links. I usually get tired of classifying posts, so something I’ll actually use is a big deal. So far I’m using this one.

An example: http://ift.tt/1TlHOuG points to a great John Lennon song.
