So what does MAKEmini do?

MAKEmini is a free online service that will shorten those long, ugly URLS running rampant on the Internet into a cleaner and easier to read URL.

For example, MAKEmini takes a URL like:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Waverley+Street,+Palo+Alto+CA+94306&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.222969,75.322266&ie=UTF8&ll=37.447419,-122.138786&spn=0.025315,0.050855&z=15&om=1&layer=c&cbll=37.43466,-122.140713&cbp=2,410.10896051045,0.503905413874261,0

and makes it into a more readable URL such as:

MAKEmini.com was created by Lewis Web Developments, LLC. on Thanksgiving of 2007 after trying to remember and share various Black Friday Sale links with friends and family. Although using the favorites option in most of the popular browsers would be a simple solution, it still lacked the ability to make the links readable and notify others of the links. Thus MAKEmini will launched. No snazzy graphics, just a simple and powerful solution for one of the most annoying aspects of the Internet.

Since our launch we have been able to clean up x,xxx URLS which have been visited x,xxx,xxxx times. We are just doing our part in cleaning up the ugly URLs polluting the Internet.
