New Democratic Underground URL shortener: DEMU.GR [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

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.
