FYPurl is a really simple application with a really simple purpose: sharing URLs quickly and easily between people in the same room.
With FYPurl you can point your own short URL (www.fypurl.com/your_login_name) to any other URL to share it with others easily.
By using the FYPexpress bookmarklets you' ll be able to quickly point your own FYPurl to any website you're browsing. We call this fypping an URL. And, of course, you can also remove your FYPurl. We call this... unfypping, you got it right!
You may think this is not new, nor useful, and you may say you have other options, such as:
-
using Instant Messaging
Well, you'll have to copy the url, switch to the IM window, start a conversation and paste the url. Easy, but... maybe you don't want to (or even can) open your IM.
-
using online bookmarks
If you have the right plugin or bookmarklets, you can store the url in your online bookmarks easily... but it won't be so easy to recall it quickly!, and be realistic, maybe you don't give a damm about the link, why store it?
-
using some url clipping site
This is the closest alternative, but still fails in its simplicity. You'll get one url each time you clip another, so you'll still have to paste the clipped url somewhere to share it.
So, believe us, FYPurl is the easiest way to share these annoying one minute lasting URLs.
And remember, your FYPurl is public, so anyone can see it... but we're all good guys, aren't we?
