Title
builtin URL shortener
Short, concise description of the idea
I think LJ needs a built in URL shortener for URLS.
Full description of the idea
It could be temp. like it would expire in 5 hrs or something. But like, you could have ljurl.com/?38473434 like tinyurl or something, but only for urls. You could have like, a button next to the link button that generates a smaller url.
