Laaker.com now featuring URL-shortening action

(Mountain View) – Laaker.com is now leveraging URL-shortening links for its 3rd-party service promotional links (i.e. links that point back to Laaker.com posts) as well as to other items of Micah Laaker’s interest.

At the time of this publication, m13.me links will now redirect to Laaker’s links of choice.

“From whence the m13.me domain came, you ask?” asked Mr. Laaker. “Unfortunately, all the meaningful short URLs were unavailable. Laa.kr was snatched by Korean firm who apparently hasn’t figured out how to configure their site yet, Mic.ah doesn’t exist as there is no ‘.ah’ top-level domain, and Laak.er would require registering the domain through the currently unavailable (according to Wikipedia) and war-ravaged Eritrea. That left us with my first initial and my lucky number. That, or a number of far more expensive and equally irrelevant options. So, m13.me it is.”

The domain will leverage Bit.ly Pro, a service powered by Bit.ly (which was featured previously in Laaker’s Micah’s (11) Favorite Things For 2009).
