WOW! Great story on 3.ly! I am now switching over to using Threely for all my URL shortening! Every letter counts, and 3.ly is the shortest. Threely should be the world’s ‘default’ shortener! Not only is it short, but the name sounds cool and makes sense: 3 Letter URL Shortener!

Steve, your site/blog is pretty cool (bookmarked it)… I get the concept of your site and the ’slap’ thing… I wasn’t tryin to ’slap’ your own site! LOL

Steve, I think mis-read your message, I thought you were pointing out that article as if you found it on google. I still think threely is currently the best shortener…

Threely is an AMAZING shortener! I use it all the time for my tweets… Hey Steve, you say you googled and came accross that article but what’s funny is that the author’s name of that article is STEVE. If you are the same person it sounds like you work for TinyURL or Bitly. The also goes on about .ly domains when the current most popular shortener is a .ly domain. Additionally, it is the only ‘article’ on that site… very unusual but none of my biz…. 3.ly is the shortest possible shortener, it’s the one I now prefer. I think the fact that it looks ‘unusual’ with the digit 3 there makes it even more unique than what it already is

My 2 cents…

Thanks Steve for the link back, we really appreciate it. Plus I agree that it doesn’t really appear to be a URL, but it lives up to its purpose, creating short(est) URL.

I googled 3.ly to see what other people had to say about it. My contention is that 3.ly is great, but just doesn’t look like a url.
