About a month ago, Jan Tielens posted a nice solution on his blog for generating short URL’s for SharePoint 2010 documents. His solutions depends on a URL shortening services like http://bit.ly/urlwiki or http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki.
As Jeroen Ritmeijer points out in his comment on the same page, this might not be a proper solution for confidential files. I wouldn’t want my ‘Plan for World Domination.docx’ leaking to the public. In this blog I try to give an alternative solution for those long hyperlinks.
