Like my past Lil’ Text project, this new one is also a URL shortener, but I’ve taken it a little further this time. I wanted to create one that was a bit more original than the rest. I also wanted it to work well with Twitter, a social networking site that is used not only as a communication tool, but as a “cheerleader” for people that work on the web. I idea is, why just shorten a URL when you could potentially tie your name to it?

So after a lot of thinking and working, I came up with the concept for Eeny.me. I wanted a service that could use a Twitter user’s name in the sub domain and create links from there. For instance, my name on Twitter is mauteri. Once I log in using my Twitter user name and password to Eeny.me, I have access to the URL http://mauteri.eeny.me/ to shorten my URLs and promote them on Twitter (ex:http://mauteri.eeny.me/0).

And not only that, but if I go to just http://mauteri.eeny.me/, all my past URLs are logged for everyone to see. So if someone likes something I just posted, they can find other sites I’ve posted in the past. If they like enough of these, I potentially have a new followed on Twitter.

So anyway, I’m currently beta testing the basic workings of this new site while still further developing it. So far a few people on Twitter have taken quite a liking to Eeny.me, which made me feel like my time was well spent. Take a look and let me know what YOU think of the site!
