Let me take a stab at them. http://garrettw.net/2009/04/got-computer-problems-need-help-let-me-try/ http://garrettw.net/2009/04/got-computer-problems-need-help-let-me-try/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:02:51 +0000 Garrett W. http://garrettw.net/?p=180 I would love to fix any computer problems you might have – as long as they’re not hardware issues.
Tech support is one thing that I love doing, as I find it very rewarding. I also like knowing that I’m augmenting a user’s computing experience.

Get help from me today, and suffer no more!

I have scoured the web and found 47 different websites (edit: uh-oh, just found 85 more!!) that offer to turn a long URI into something that’s easier to copy and paste and view and click and share (etc.).

I guess the most important thing about this post is the actual data, so take your pick of format:
NOTE: Research is incomplete (but feel free to give me feedback).

And now, some information.

  • Most widely available features:
    1. Bookmarklet (33=70%)
    2. Custom URI (24=51%)
    3. Stats (24=51%)
  • Most scarce features:
    1. Batch Processing (6=13%)
    2. Path Forwarding (6=13%)
    3. Editable (8=17%)
    4. Ubiquity Command (8=17%)
  • The overall rankings and the Design ratings are completely and solely my opinion (but hopefully you knew that).
  • Sites that require registration to be used were not included.

*More info to come … someday.
