Trick.ly is tricky

Heard about this via Seth Godin.

Trick.ly is a free service that shortens and password protects web links you want to share with select individuals on the internet. And rather than rope you and your contacts into a new social network, Trick.ly allows you to share with people on-the-fly.

If you want to protect secrets from the “merely curious”, Trick.ly lets you put a password on links with clues only your friends would get.

Sounds like fun no?

Type in the URL, give it a password, and for good measure a clue.

Shorten that URL and you’re offered a chance to tweet it. Makes it fun for your friends or to keep things semi-private from prying eyes.

Trick.ly shortened URL for you to try out. Nothing special but demonstrates the point. As an aside, this might be a great way to share those NSFW links.

Give it a go. Send one to me. Remember, I’m not good with clues.
