In the past 24hrs, yrn.me has experienced series of updates in an attempt to better the services and build more features on to it.
I am more than pleased to write about its new features.
Earlier on, yrn.me was a typical url shortner that can shorten any link. Providing its users with tiny links that are more social friend for tweeting, sharing on facebook and almost any thing.
But today, yrn.me will shorten your links and keep a statistics of visits. Though this data compilation is still been cooked, at present it will allow you to see how many visits your link had and also from where the visits came from as well as the date and time of visit.
To view the statistics of any link, simply add a hypen to its end such as http://yrn.me/yarnable- (this will show the statistics of http://yrn.me/yarnable)
We have also added a user account feature, which allow registered users to manage their urls from their accounts and also keep up with their link statistics. The registration is free and will remain so, infact more features will come for registered users. ;)
A user account will allow you to create customized links, such as http://yrn.me/{anything}, making your shortened links more descriptive. But this feature is available only to registered members.
Added to the services also includes a browser Bookmark Button, which we call Shrinklet, simply the diamond of the new updates.
The Bookmark Button is easy to install by just dragging it to your browser bookmarks. It allows both registered and non registered users the ability to shorten any page they are viewing and would like to share it with others.
Once clicked, it will automatically generate a short link in 2 seconds. For registered users (with accounts logged in on their PC) it will also add the link to their account simultaneously.
Another key thing to note is that, the yrn.me Home Page now shows 5 top ranked links. It will allow yrn.me visitors to have a peep on the hottest links on the system.
More will be coming soon as we develop the system better, enjoy shrinking your links
