While every one of us are trying to achieve shortest URL possible when it comes to sharing a website with peers; some folks want you to do the otherwise. Instead of shorten long URL with services like TinyURL, MooURL, etc, WideURL boost your URL longer than it originally was.
WideURL turns each of the characters in your URL into a pronounceable phrase, join them with dashes (-) to form a new long URL. For instance, abc.com would turn out to be http://wideurl.com/aye-bee-see-dot-see-oh-em after conversion. But why would one wanna do that? Just for the sake of having fun, I guess.

Forget TinyUrl etc,
Convert MULTIPLE LONG URLs to ONE SINGLE SMALL URL @ http://Shrink2one.com
Check your own and decide.

nice concept, think it will work seo wise? For time being ill stick to http://www.tinyurl.com (just to create short urls) and http://www.urlcover.com (to password protect short urls and add expiration to them), they both offer easy free url redirection services.
–thanks
