Tuxedo Link Shortener™ is a simple URL Shortening service with a twist. It comes with #hashtags, domains, and link notes. This is much unlike the average URL shortening service that only shortens links. Each link here is saved for posterity with accompanying notes and short URL.
Currently, only registered users with accounts can shorten links.

NOTES: Very true... #SaaS: Change starts easy and then gets really hard.
NOTES: Forget the resume, kill on the cover letter. A great resume will get you not-rejected, a great cover letter will get you hired. #career
NOTES: Haha... Give it five minutes. A few years ago I used to be a hothead. Whenever anyone said anything, I’d think of a way to disagree. I’d push back hard if something didn’t fit my world-view.
NOTES: There's no room for The Idea Guy. Startups need people able and willing of doing the actual work. They need programmers, designers, and eventually folks to do marketing, support, and more. What they don’t need, though, is someone who’s just going to be The Idea Guy. #startup
NOTES: Work on your best idea. Turning ambition into success is hard enough as it is. Whether you’re taking time to work on a project on the side or you’re launching a full-time business, it’s going to require peak personal investment #business
NOTES: Agrees... It's not just about the aesthetics and UX but also about the quality and nature of the site's content. Look and Feel and Feel
NOTES: What happens to user experience in a minimum viable product? #startup
NOTES: FIRE but have things changed? ... Facebook is not worth $33,000,000,000 #startup
NOTES: Three years later, Mr. Moore is still letting us punt on database sharding #coding
NOTES: Agrees... It just doesn't matter #startup
URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using a redirect which links to the web page that has a long URL.
For example, the URL "https://example.com/assets/category_B/subcategory_C/Foo/" can be shortened to "https://snip.ml/Foo", and the URL "https://example.com/about/index.html" can be shortened to "https://snip.ml/h2iBY".
Often the redirect domain name is shorter than the original one. A friendly URL may be desired for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters in a message (for example SMS), for reducing the amount of typing required if the reader is copying a URL from a print source, for making it easier for a person to remember, or for the intention of a permalink.
