A Nigerian Develops A URL Shortner Called YRN.ME.Is This The First African URL Shortner?
A Nigerian guy named Ahmad Mukoshy, has deveoped a nifty url shortner which isn’t half bad. According to Loy Okezie
YRN.Me, a 5-lettered domain name better spoken as “Yarn Me” (Nigerian slang word for “tell me”) can shorten up to 2,000 characters length of web addresses to merely 20 characters just like bit.ly
The service also features a free API which allows web developers to remotely shorten long web address easily and efficiently without hassles. After submitting a URL to be shortened via the API, a HTTP response page will be returned containing the new URL or simply the error message.
Yrn.me’s founder, Ahmad Mukoshy describes his “next big thing” as a micro discussion platform that allows you to create discussion threads of topics of interest in fewer than 140 char and share with the world in the easiest way.
The url shortner is the first url shortner we know of developed by an African Nigerian, with an open API for external implementation.
