My own URL shortener

I set up my own URL shortener for links and posts at one of my domains, jkt.co. I don’t trust a service like bit.ly to stay in business longer than this content, and I don’t want my twitter links breaking 20 years down the road.  It was an easy install using the free and open-source (and awesome!) Yourls. If you know even a little about the web you can have this set up in minutes. Well worth the time.

Oh and in case you were wondering, the shortened URL for this post is http://jkt.co/5
