We closed down, but now we're back!

You may have read that we closed down last week (don't worry, we kept all your old short URLs).

You will be (hopefully) pleased to know, that we're back!

The decision was taken to shut down the API completely as this was the main route in which spammers were able to use our services. We will be bringing the API back at a later date, but it will be for use by registered members only.

With this in mind, we have taken the rather controversial measure of deploying CAPTCHA tests on the main web site when creating a short URL, unless of course you are a registered member (as we trust you then).

If you have a Twitter account, you don't even need to register with http://Fwd4.Me as you can sign in to our site using your Twitter account.

Let the URL shortening commence once more!

UPDATE 02/01/2011: The API is now back online!
