The war against TightURL abuse continues, but unsurprisingly clueless "good guys" are the biggest threat to this service.

Long URLs that don't fit on one line often aren't clickable after you e-mail them. They can also be tedious to type out on Web-enabled cellphones. TightURL squeezes very long URLs like this:

    http://www.cspan.org/watch/index.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS&ShowVidDays=30&ShowVidDesc=&ArchiveDays=30

Down to a tight, compact URL like this:

    http://tighturl.com/da42

NEW: All URLs are available from both the original tighturl.com domain, and the new even shorter 2tu.us domain!
The easy way to remember it is: to(2) tight url . url shortener.

ABUSE: Please note also that URLs submitted to TightURL for the purpose of hiding their true destination may be removed at our discretion, upon request, or upon our own initiative. This is a URL shortener, not an obfuscation service. URLs that redirect to other known redirectors will be rejected or removed. Affiliate marketing URLs will be removed as detected and the master site blacklisted. Again, if you're trying to hide behind our redirector, you're not welcome here. You may report phishing scams and worms here, however, it is important to note that TightURL DOES NOT HOST ANYTHING. Reporting phishing scams to us does nothing to make the actual hosted web site go away. So we should be the last resort when reporting abuse, which is properly reported to those who are actually hosting the page/site you're reporting.
