Blog Rss Feed
I just opened http://kiq.me/, a new service developed in Python, with Turbogears framework. Kiq.me allows you to encode a very long URL (web address) into a shorter one. I had already developed a similar service called wittylink.com, which is still operating, but I needed a shorter domain name and wanted to add new features, so I created kiq.me.
This new service has two features: it is twitter aware, and your urls are encoded into Data Matrix barcodes.
- Twitter. When you encode your URL, kiq.me allows you to directly post the newly encoded URL and a message on twitter. You don’t have to cut and paste or copy the new url to your twitter page. Just check the box post this url on twitter, type your account information and message and “voila” the new short url is posted on twitter. For example the URL to this article is encoded into http://kiq.me/S
- Barcode. Your new short url is also encoded into a Data Matrix barcode. You can print this barcode in your organization’s newsletter, on a poster, on an ad, on your business card, send it by email, or put the image on your website. This allows every user of a phone with a camera and a web browser to take a picture of this barcode and to be automatically routed to your web site.
There are plenty of bar code readers for cellphones. For example, you can search the iPhone App Store for beetagg reader, neoreader, or upcode. I like upcode, it is light and does a good job.
So please give kiq.me a try and let me know what you think. I’m considering adding interfaces to other services. I’d like to know if this is useful to you first.

Tabbed browsing is indeed the most important but its old now and is supported by many browsers. The best unique part of Firefox is add-ons. I can't even think of browsing without AdBlock Plus or [HTML_REMOVED]Web Developer[HTML_REMOVED] toolbar or Mail Notifier. Chrome seems like a good browser but they can't win me over till they have the add-on support as Firefox.

Early morning time, the mist is dim. Curved river bank, willow obviously elegant like smoke. Far does not see the mountain, nearly does not see the ship, only a little selects the lights, embellishes in the faintly recognizable mist. The young young schoolchild, sings in this mist at sunset; In a hurry the pedestrian, the moist hair clothing which fills by the mist. Most beautiful, when is in the fog the park, pavilion Taiwan pavilion, porch bridge park, fuzzy, partly visible. Let the human think that imitates, if places oneself in unreal, is considering, is in the world, plays in the heavenly palace?
