Twrts -->
Pronounced Tw-arts, I wanted an easy way of having smaller URL's pointing to stock charts to embed in messaging systems that I use.
(For an example, take a look at a URL for a stock chart on Yahoo. It's like 7 million characters.)
It's a lot like TinyURL, but I didn't want to have to actually go to the chart's webpage. I wanted to just be able to specify a symbol, then
pick my chart service, and bam, easily readable shortened URL.
Why not just use TinyURL? You can. This is just more specific.
I also got a chance to use the new Google App Engine guts for this project.
The framework allowed me to rapid prototype and not fuss around with configuration. I like that.
NOTE; I will be adding the ability to actually post to twitter shortly just to mess with the API.
