| Url Shortner App |
As a blogger we all need to share
our stuff on various social media platforms including Twitter and that’s where
the challenge comes when Twitter has limited characters. That’s when URL
shortner service comes in picture. URL shortner allows you to fit your urls in
limited characters and make your tweets tweetable enough and can be easily
shared with others.
“URL Uncover supports not only short url, monetized links but any website on the web.”
However, another challenge that
comes is which URL shortner service should we choose in order to have safe
transaction. That’s where URL Uncover comes into play. There is a growing
turmoil that any shortened link will send you to a malicious website or take
you to a place you really don’t want to be at. The reality is that thanks to
all these url shortening tools on the web (of which there are hundreds), no
link is what it appears to be. There have been numerous occasions in your life
where you had to choose second guessing on whether or not I should click the
shortened url. Scammers and hackers use different kinds of methods to steal
your information using methods like phishing, spoofing, key-logging etc and
detection of it is almost very hard but URL Uncover can make that easy for
you.
URL uncover is a web service which
allows you to check the legitimacy of the link without ever having to visit it.
All you do is paste the shortened URL and URL Uncover will run it through its
system and show you the original decrypted url and also will check if the
remote domain is or has been blacklisted or not. It also scans the link on 6
external online antivirus scanners like Google, Avg etc to make sure the url is
absolutely safe to visit. It will also generate a screenshot of the website
that the URL links to, and pull the title, description, and keywords of that
page from its metadata.
