What is this?
Sturvs Go is a service that shortens URLs. This helps to avoid long URLs.
For example you can turn
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/news/int/search/news/nigeria/-/2/hi/africa/8052402.stminto
http://go.sturvs.com/e
View URL Stats
Simply add a hyphen (dash) to the end of the shortened URL, and instead of being redirected to the original long address automatically, you'll be able to see stats for that URL.For Example
http://go.sturvs.com/e-
Uses of Sturvs Go
Here are just a few of the many uses for Sturvs Go:
- Clean up bookmarks for social bookmarking or microblogging sites with low character limits like Twitter
- Shorten web addresses for forum posts, blogs etc. which cannot handle long URLs and might wrap them, making them unclickable
- Lower the character count when texting web addresses to a mobile phone
- Monitoring the amount of clicks you get pointing to a particular URL
Please note that using Sturvs Go to shorten a URL does not automatically add it to the main Sturvs website. You have to do that here. However, every entry submitted to the main Sturvs website automatically gets a Sturvs Go URL.
