    this won’t take true spirit of Sri Lankan Social Media to the world.. stop trying to add terms like Sri Lankan spirit to everything..who is behind this site anyways ? I remember there was this kota.lk and they too wanted to promote the true Sri lankan spirit o what ever,,. but I guess the web masters parents must have refused to pay the bills.Site went down with all the shortened links.
    btw four letters are still too long for a link shortner .. lq.lk would be more like it…

      Your comments are always welcome and thank you for commenting..

      We understand that you are entitled to have your opinion about linq.lk or this post but since Linq.lk is the only url shortner to be found from Sri Lanka we thought that we should shed some light to its cause.

      At the end of the day its always up to you to decide which shortner to use..

      Cheers…

      First of all Linq.lk is not kota.lk but we have already contact the admin’s of Kota and requested the domain & the database so that we can maintain it behalf of them and minimize the damage it has made for the people who had faith in local services.

      Linq.lk is running without any advertisements and free of charge, maybe Linq.lk will get its lq.lk alias soon when the admin’s have more money to spend for their hobbies 😉

      A small doubt, Why do you look at the prefix when the suffix is way shorter than any other link shortner? besides the overall length is less than or equal to other leading shortners.

      ex : Lets take the current post “http://www.tutebox.com/internet/linq-lk-the-sri-lankan-url-shortener/” as an example and analyze the default results.

      http://linq.lk/aeb3 [19 char]
      http://goo.gl/V5KJx [19 char]
      http://is.gd/BsiP8M [19 char]

      Sometimes things look much better when you change the way you look at them.. no offense..
      Thanks for your comments..
