Yesterday we talked about Tiny URL Etiquette and the fact that sometimes tiny isn't better. Sometimes short URLs don't contain enough information to let a person know where they're going.

In response to that concern Lifehacker reader Andrew Ferguson created BURL—Better URL. It shortens a URL yet leaves some context. Nice work.
