Via Seth's Blog:
The internet is constantly, relentlessly public. Post something and it's there, for everyone, all the time.
Acar has come up with a clever idea, a small idea that makes things just a little protected. Trick.ly is a URL shortener with a twist. You can share a URL but hide it behind a question that only insiders can easily answer.
So, for example, you could tweet, "Here's the source for my world-class chili: http://trick.ly/2L5". Anyone can go there, but only people who can figure out the clue can discover the site you were pointing to.
It's not secure. It's sort of private. Neato.

In our ongoing efforts to understand and master Twitter, we’ve come across a common problem: with a message limit of only 140 characters, how does one deal with long URL’s that can sap precious info-space?
There are more than a few options out there, so in the interest of sharing our experience, we’ve picked a representative (though admittedly not comprehensive—there are tons of them) sample of URL shortening services and broken them down in terms of branding, ease of use, and additional features.
