What is Z.ips.ME you say? Z.ips.ME is a little open source program that my business partner Adam came up with that lets you create your own URL shortening service.

Simple to use and easy to install, Z.ips.ME gives you control of your URLs. I think it took me less than 10 minutes to get everything set it up. Follow the 5 installation steps and you’ll be golden. The installation process is just like WordPress.

Key benefits of Z.ips.ME:

• URL naming control with keywords. (i.e. I twittered about Jet Blue’s unlimited flying for $599 using my very own shortened link http://www.michael-li.com/zipsme/JetBlue)
• Peace of mind that your URLs are safe from being dead links because the service you used closed down.
• Private admin system with robust statistics with clicks, referring sites, browsers, and operating systems.
• Branding your own domain.

Don’t know how to do the installation or just don’t want to, Z.ips.ME does offer a installation services if you contact them.

This is one of the many little projects that I hope Pure Adapt, Inc will continue to develop.  We have tons of ideas.  While developing these little projects, hopefully we hit a couple more like Sports Lizard and HotteeeZ.  Those twos sites make some decent money for very little amount of work.  Minimal work and maintenance equaling continuous income is a no brainer, I think.  Like Adam said about projects that don’t pan out, ” If not, there’s really no loss for us and we can just try some more until something works. How fun is that?“  That’s the truth, these are not high risk projects that we’re taking on and it’s fun as H E double hockey sticks.

Back on to Z.ips.ME.  If you’re looking for your very own URL shortening service Z.ips.Me is simple to use and gets the job done.  Check out the Z.ips.Me for more information and screen shots.
