My Definitive List of Shortest URL Shorteners on this blog is now completely obsolete. All of them were four characters long (including the dot) but a new winer has appeared:
to.
This shortener leaves much to be desired in terms of interface and features BUT: it generates REALLY short URLs such as:
to./jre (which incidentally takes you back to this very post).
That's a total of seven characters. And you can get to it by typing mere three (to.) and hitting Enter in your browser.
This in fact is the shortest URL shortener I am aware of at the moment. It should be easy enough to emulate by other TLDs should the choose to.
I discovered this shortener randomly through a blog comment from Sal. The .to country top level domain (TLD) belongs to the Kingdom of Tonga (H.R.H. Crown Prince Tupouto'a seems in control) and you can register these through tonic.to, the registrar.
