There is a feature in my SharePoint URL Shortener solution that was not included in the video I posted on YouTube recently. I thought I would take the time to spotlight this feature because it may not be too obvious. The video highlights the ability to generate a short URL by using the drop down [...]
The SharePoint URL Shortener Codeplex site has been published and is now publically available (as promised from yesterdays post). As a reminder, the URL is http://spurlshortener.codeplex.com. If you have any problems, please post something on the Codeplex site and/or hit me up on Twitter (@PaulLiebrand). Thank you and please be gentle!
After many iterations and delays I am pleased to announce that my SharePoint Url Shortener (initial version) is finally here!

I figured out what happened and thought I would share my findings with the community (I’ll most likely be opening a support case with Microsoft to try [...]
I’d like to take a moment to congratulate the Muhimbi for shipping MuSH; their version of the URL shortener for SharePoint. As many of you know I have been working on and off on my open sourced version for sometime now and it is good to finally see someone else attempting to tackle the same [...]
