DecentURL.com is a sweet little service that turns ugly URLs with things like ?v=3829yf98dsafhz989 in them into decent-looking addresses.

It can grab a title automatically, and it always includes the domain in the resulting URL to protect you from going places you didn’t want to.

Hi Anonymous, DecentURL's goal is to create nice URLs rather than ultra-short ones as other services do. DecentURL can also grab a title automatically, and unlike TinyURL, includes the domain in the decent URL so you can see where you're going. Read more at decenturl.com/about :-)
