New Democratic Underground URL shortener: DEMU.GR

To save space when sharing links to DU, we have created a new URL shortener: demu.gr

It works on any Democratic Underground URL. Just change "democraticunderground.com" to "demu.gr" and leave the rest of the URL the same. Whenever someone visits a demu.gr page, our software recognizes the short URL and automatically swaps in the full democraticunderground.com address. Check it out:

http://demu.gr

http://demu.gr/?com=latest_threads

http://demu.gr/?com=greatest_threads

http://demu.gr/?com=forums

And here are links to two discussion threads:

http://demu.gr/1002965677

http://demu.gr/1014169738

In addition, the "Tweet" button on every DU thread has been programmed to automatically place the shortened URL into your tweet.

We will be integrating this URL shortening functionality into other DU features in the future.


Thanks Skins ! we will be sure to use this !

From Wikipedia.

.gr is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Greece.

Who would have thought that DUmmies like it the Greek way?  :sarcasm:    :rofl:

And, of course... I had my office manager pick up DEMU.US (http://www.demu.us)

Only cost 4 bucks, by the way.

USA! USA! USA!

Looking for suggestions on how to properly "funitize" the domain  :rofl:

Here's the thing.  If Germany attacked Italy from behind, would Greece help?   :popcorn:

Just a couple days ago they were all a-flutter about using Uganda's domain to shorten the address:

The Whole Uganda Tiny URL Shorten Thing Bothers Me (http://www.democraticunderground.com/113717443#post34)

Something about anti-gay policies.

Once again, squeaky wheels win!  Go Skinner!

This because of a hissy fit thrown over the previous attempt. At first it was going to be dem.ug but that got teh gheys wound up and threatening to leave the site...so naturally he backed down.
