Yahoo! Cool Thing of the Day

This is hardly an official Yahoo! product, but it was created by a Yahoo, which is close enough for me (especially when three hours late :P).

Yesterday, we talked about how the Pipes team was making URLs shorter, simpler, and more descriptive. That's all well and good, but sometimes, it just doesn't feel like you're getting your money's worth out of a diminutive URL.  Why address in 21 characters when you could instead command a spacious, say, 2048? That's where GiganticURL steps in.

Yeah. That's pretty much it. It takes your URL and makes it gigantic.
