POE Specific URL Shrinker: poeurl.com

PoeURL.com:
http://poeurl.com

PoeURL is a url shrinking website. Unlike other url shrinking sites, it only allows specific web pages, in this case, pretaining to Path of Exile.

What is a URL shrinker/shortener?
A URL shrinker matches a url to a much shorter url, which redirects to the original one.

Why is this useful?
Passive-Skill-Tree urls are quite long, and uncopyable from chat. PoeURL allows easy typing of the URL.

Why not goo.gl?
Goo.gl doesn't filter the websites which are allowed to be posted. PoeURL only allows safe urls to be posted, which makes all shortened urls from PoeURL trusted.

So, what next?
I (null03) will be taking suggestions to improve the site and implementing them. PoeURL could grow and become much more.

Contact me on the Path of Exile forums, or by email: matt.pck@gmail.com

EDIT: There is a secret easter egg, would be cool if anyone was able to find it. Any knowledge of javascript would help.

Gonna bump this a few times (within reason), hopefully I can get some feedback.

Well the point is to remove the chance of password stealing sites being spread around.

EDIT: there obviously then has to be an established trust in poeurl itself. I'd be happy to share the code to annoying if that helps.

Lol, password stealing sites? Dont watch porn or stream movies.
Nice work man!
same name in-game
Great idea imo. Would like to suggest adding links related to http://poe.xyz.is/ to trusted urls.

If I created the domain p.athofexile.com (for example) which linked to a fake login page, claiming to be my new cool build idea, there is a chance you'd disregard the subtle difference.

Even if the chances of this happening are slim, I think a lot of people would be happy to maximize safe browsing.

I propose that the entire premise is backwards.
