Let’s say you’ve got a cool Gist you want to share, but don’t love the boring URL. No problem. Just use bit.ly.
bit.ly is a URL shortener which lets you specify the identifier. I setup http://bit.ly/WeatherBot for ntalbot’s WeatherBot rock paper scissors script.
bit.ly also tracks click throughs, for that extra bit of ego boost.
Update: Fixed link.
http://moourl.com/ do the customization job too :)
(The link to Nathaniel’s profile is broken. Has thttp instead of http.)
Or gist could let you name gists. Numbered gists give me the gists.
