It
is a web service that provides short aliases for redirection of long URLs.
The wasalaty.com homepage includes a form that's used to submit a long URL for shortening.
For each URL entered, the server adds a new alias in its hashed database and returns a short URL such as http:// wasalaty.com /XXXX
If the URL has already been requested, wasalaty.com will return the existing alias rather than create a duplicate entry.
N.B.
The short URL forwards users to the long URL.
Short URL aliases are seen as useful because they are easier to write down, remember or pass around, are less error-prone to write.
Also fit where space is limited such as IRC channel topics, email signatures, microblogs, certain printed, and email clients that impose line breaks on messages at a certain length.
