A while back I mentioned that MySpace and msplinks do dirty things to links.

This bugs me a bit, so I’ve been trying to figure out ways to mess with ‘em. I’ve got nothing good so far, but in the process I noticed that MySpace doesn’t generate a new link for each address (like TinyURL, for example). Instead they encode the address in the msplinks url. So an address can be encoded into a msplink even if MySpace has never seen that address before.

While I was playing with msplinks, I created a converter. Put any URL into it, and it’ll spit out a msplinks address. I haven’t figured out anything particularly devious to use it for yet, but if you come up with something let me know.

Have fun kids :-)
