TRIM

TRIM is a simple URL shortening service that provides the ability to turn any sized URL into a much smaller link. These links can be sent to anyone, and once clicked, will redirect a user to the website. Shortened URL's generated with TRIM can be tracked by total redirects as well as individual redirects on a per-IP basis.
