tools

Note: Myspace recently changed the way they make msplinks. This tool prob'ly doesn't work anymore...

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 :-)
