URL Trimmer Facts:

What would be the shortened URL format?

To access your url, you always start with the following format:

clybs.com/x/ + tag
eg: clybs.com/x/clybs

Can it track user clicks?

Yes. It can track information regarding user clicks on your link but for now this is not enabled.

How do you handle users who would try to use the URL Trimmer for phishing or distributing malware?

I use the engine of the url expander to prevent malicious users from using the url trimmer for phishing or leading users to malware sites only. Porn links are still allowed. The system is in place but like all tools, it's not 100% fool proof.

Is there an API for this which I can use in my own application?

Yes there is but I haven’t opened it up for public use. I will make it available in the near future.

Will there be plugin for browsers like chrome, firefox, etc also?

Yes there will be also in the near future.
