About

Follow The News is a custom URL shortener for news sites. With Follow The News, sites can create a URL that represents their media and while having separate, similar, links for news, audio and video. With this ability, a podcaster, for example, could have generate URLs for an article about an interview, which also contains an MP3 and MP4 version of the interview, all with the same prefix, such as,

• Article: http://followthene.ws/n/Interview
• Audio: http://followthene.ws/a/Interview
• Video: http://followthene.ws/v/Interview

Now, the user knows what it is they are consuming, as well as the format they will be consuming it in. Unlike other URL shorteners, there is no guess as to what is on the other end. Also, since Follow The News is not open to the public, you don't have to worry about ending up on a website that will do harm to your computer. It's win/win.
