Add xaddr.com to your browser toolbar

To make it quick and easy to create short web urls for any web page you are viewing, add the xaddr.com bookmarklet to your browser toolbar. It's easy to do.

1 Click and hold the link below:
xaddr this!
ss
2 Drag it to your Links toolbar (Internet Explorer) or Bookmarks toolbar (Firefox).

If Internet Explorer doesn't allow you to drag and drop the link, right-click it and select Add to Favorites, then expand Favorites and select Links. Ignore the warning that the favorite may not be safe: it's just because it uses JavaScript.

  • Right-click xaddr this! and using the Properties window change the icon to the file you just saved
