Teensylink is a simple website that takes in a URL and returns a short ‘teensylink’ in the form of http://teensylink.com/xxxxx, where the xxxxx is a unique 5-digit code. If you visit the teensylink in your browser, you’re redirected to the original link. Users can also add password-protection and CAPTCHA-protection to their teensylinks and view realtime stats on how many visits their teensylinks have recieved. There’s also a bookmarklet users can drag to their browser toolbar so they can create a teensylink to whatever page they have open in their browser.

Why would someone use a tool like this?

• Long links often break in email, including Gmail. Teensylinks won’t.
• Easy password-protection of links
• Easy CAPTCHA-protection of links to stop spiders & robots from following links
• Free realtime stats
