Aruna Labs Blog

We have another widget rolling off the presses here at Aruna Labs. Today we are releasing the Aruna URL Yahoo! Widget. This widget will allow you to make short URLs or web links from your desktop without having to go to the www.arunaURL.com website. Here are some screenshots:

Enter the URL that you want to shorten and then click “Make it small”

Your short URL / web link is given back to you. You can now copy it and then use it as you wish.

If you don’t have Yahoo! Widgets installed yet, we highly recommend it. There are over 4000 widgets that make your life on Mac or PC much easier.

Here is what the Yahoo! Widgets tool bar looks like (Aruna URL is the yellow one!)

To use the Aruna URL Yahoo! Widget:

1. Go to widgets.yahoo.com and install the widget software
2. Download the Aruna URL widget here (first unzip it, then double click the .widget file it to launch it)
3. That’s it! Go ahead and make URLs with ArunaURL on your desktop. It is free!

When you log into your Aruna Email, you will notice a couple of new services in the Zimlets section. In this post we will go over how to use Aruna URL.

Aruna URL is a simple but handy service that lets you turn an unmanageable or long web link (or URL) into a short link / URL. Here is how it works:

1. Click on the ArunaURL icon

2. Enter the long URL that you want to make short and click “Make It”

3. Your new short URL is displayed. You can now select and copy this link and use it anywhere you please. The new short link will go to the original link that you converted.

That’s it. You can use Aruna URL as much as you want. It is free.

You can also “right click” on the Aruna URL icon to get the About dialogue.

Of course you can always use Aruna URL from the website as well. It is also free and available at www.arunaurl.com.
