    Noticed that in Apple’s iOS Shortcuts Gallery they featured a shortcut that uses v.gd or is.gd - apparently both run by an ISP, Memset.

    Cloud hosting company Memset this morning [April 26, 2010] announced that it has agreed to acquire URL shortening service Is.gd. Memset in a statement says it has thus secured the URL shortener’s future, and added that it plans to maintain it as a non-advertising-supported, free Internet service indefinitely.

    Good Guy Memset. Must be tons of hassle given the spam/fraud.
