Dead links suck. Undead links rule.
A new service calling itself "the URL shortener for the undead" injects some horrific humor
into the mundane (but useful!) process of chopping down URLs for ease of transmission. The new Bottlecap Labs’ service — called ZombieURL — turns standard
long URLs into shorter, more manageable, strings.
It works almost exactly like TinyURL, only with a sick twist. Just slap a long URL into the box on the ZombieURL
site, hit the Braaaaiiins! button and — yikes — you’ve got a zombified URL that you can
send to friends. They’ll get the website you wanted to send along, plus some potentially
terrifying bonus content. (The site adds a note of caution: "Consider wisely who you send this to: Zombies have
been known to scare children and the elderly.")
To see an example of the horrifying handiwork of "the No. 1 zombie-infected URL
redirection service on the web," check out this zombified link to Wired.com. Then cool your jets by watching the trailer (embedded above) to [[Zombie](http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/zombiestrippers/index.html)](http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/zombiestrippers/index.html)
