Url Shortening Service with a twist
You have probably heard of TinyUrl.com - a service that allows you to take very long Urls and create tiny Urls. There are other such services such as SnipUrl.com which offer a similar service. They all convert a long Url to a short Url.
The problem with such services is that when you are trying to convert a long Url that points to a website which is Not Safe For Work (NSFW). It’s impossible for the person who is clicking on the Url to determine where he/she is going.
Well, here’s a service launched just for this purpose. Its called NSFW.in. Any Urls which are shortened through this service go through a warning page which cautions the user that they are about to visit a website which is NSFW and generally not suitable for below 18 (see picture below):

Smart Idea.
