AbbrV8 (pronounced 'abbreviate'), is link-shortening and sharing done right. You provide a long or complicated URL, and we give back to you a much shorter URL, and the option to email that URL to your friends.
Let's say you want to email this link to someone:
http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Complete-Second-Eliza beth-Mitchell/dp/B000FIMG68/sr=8-1/qid=116792941 3/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5109192-0895168?ie=UTF8&s=dvd
See the problem? It's going to get chopped into multiple lines, and be a hassle to be cut-and-pasted.
Run that link through abbrV8, and you'll get something like this:
http://abbrv8.com/jh
Much better - and as an added bonus, you can email to friends directly from abbrV8.com as well (click "I'm Feeling Social" to go straight to the emailing step after creating your link).
A bookmarklet can be dropped onto your "favourites" or "bookmarks" toolbar, to give you a one-click way to create a new abbrV8 link.
abbrV8!Drag-and-drop the above link into your toolbar, and the next time you're on a page you want abbrV8, just click the button. Simple.
