This Url Shortener provides the basic functions like shortening and expanding links.
It works on the same data structure and provides the same API (see ^*) below) as urlShort (by mavrev.org)
You can enable a preview: if you visit a short URL, then you are not automatically redirected to the target page but you get to see the full link and you can go here manually (this preview is set using a browser cookie).
