This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).
To save space when sharing links to DU, we have created a new URL shortener: demu.gr
It works on any Democratic Underground URL. Just change "democraticunderground.com" to "demu.gr" and leave the rest of the URL the same. Whenever someone visits a demu.gr page, our software recognizes the short URL and automatically swaps in the full democraticunderground.com address. Check it out:
http://demu.gr
http://demu.gr/?com=latest_threads
http://demu.gr/?com=greatest_threads
http://demu.gr/?com=forums
And here are links to two discussion threads:
http://demu.gr/1002965677
http://demu.gr/1014169738
In addition, the "Tweet" button on every DU thread has been programmed to automatically place the shortened URL into your tweet.
We will be integrating this URL shortening functionality into other DU features in the future.

And the shortening is great also.

Why don't we fund the US ?
I say let the EU bail out the Greeks.

(36,974 posts)When ever I send out a tweet from DU - I always have to edit out the words 'Democratic Underground' that show up there automatically (still do)
because that takes up too many characters and I need all that I can get for the tweet and all the extra hash-tags that I add.
In my opinion the words 'Democratic Underground' doesn't need to be included in the tweet because when someone clicks on the link in my tweeted out tweet they will see that they end up here at DU.
I hope I explained that clearly enough
