thank you, Scott! we just added the API so people can do cool stuff with it and soon (we’re in production *live* over here!) also automatically generate vb.ly URLs off their own blog (using the WP plugin).
some people are asking me how a link generator can be sex-positive. it’s simple. unlike other automatic services run by humans, I’m encouraging the use of NSFW URLs. so many of us have used services to later have our content removed or disappear because the service suddenly decides to “clean up” its image. I’ve often worried that a link shortener service will refuse to use one of my links, or get sold to a big company that pulls my links because they have the word “sex” in them. you can trust that we will never do that!
After reading Violet’s explanation of what makes this a Sex Positive service, I’m making vb.ly my default URL shortener. Thanks!
