Links2.me Is a New Way To Manage And Present Shortened Links

Links2.me has a unique idea; it takes some links and creates a bundle of them. You get a single short URL that you can pass along to your friends. When they open the link, they will get a combined site of all the links you’ve put into the Links2.me box! It actually works very well. The visitor sees the Table of Contents and every included site organized into tabs.

How Do I Use Links2.me?

To create this “all links in one” site you need to go to Links2.me and add some links. Every link you want to include in the bundle should be in its own line. Every site needs a title so you should add one right after the link (there should be a space between a link and a title). For example, if I want to create a bundle, I would enter all the links like this:

• http://domain.me/blog .me blog;

• http://domain.me Acumen Connect

Once you’ve entered all the links you need, simply click the cut button and that’s it! You will get a dozen of shortened links that all point to your bundle, so feel free to choose one and share it.

When your friend opens the link, he’ll see a page with links to all the pages you added. When he clicks on one of those links, he will not be taken directly to that page but to a tab containing the site. That’s probably when he’ll notice the tab bar at the top of the screen, which has links to all of your sites in the bundle.

Why Should You Use Links2.me?

Being a student, I had to write papers in almost every class I took, and every paper needed to have a list of references, sites where I found my data. There is no need to list up tens of sites anymore; just put them all in a bundle and include the single short links in your paper.

Sometimes your friends might ask if you know some sites about a particular topic. For example, a friend would ask you to give him tutorials on how and where to buy a domain name. Instead of sending him several separate links, you can take all of the links you have on the topic (don’t forget our blog posts on how to buy a domain name ;)), create a Links2.me bundle and send it.

Your friend will have a nice overview and only one tab opened in his browser. All the other sites you recommended will be opened within that one and your friend can bookmark that short link for some time later.

Is There Anything Else?

Of course there is. If you register to use Links2.me, you will have the option to edit links in your bundle and see the statistics of each bundle separately. Additionally, you can enroll into the Pro program, which is currently in beta and you can get in with an invitation.
