Create more readable links, easier to remember, ready to be paste in forums, in chats or in your mails. Giving internet links become much more simple.
Linkasa uses a base 62 compression algorithm. This makes 3844 possibilities for 2 letters. With 3 letters, there is 238328 different combinations! The demonstration page will show you an clean example.
When you click on a link like linkasa.com/4e9F, you won't be directly redirected to the corresponding url. You will see a temporary page which allows you to have a glance at the associated site and avoid bad surprises (ads, inappropriate content, etc.)
Obviously you can modify your settings to be always redirected.
By adding /preview at the end of a link, you access to the preview page, whatever settings you have set. Thus, linkasa.com/1/preview will redirect you to http://www.linkasa.com/preview/1.
By adding a tag, you can define the look of the generated links. Much better for transmitting a link. Easier to type, easier to remember!
For instance, if you want to transmit the internet address of your personal page to a friend, create the link linkasa.com/-joe. It will be easier to remember than http://private.mycompany.com/pub/static/html/blog.jsp?JSESSIONID=20126878335264&pid=32
