URLsplit: Link to Multiple Sources Simultaneously

URLsplit lets you create a link which (unlike traditional links) can be linked to several web destinations at once. Every time someone clicks on the link s/he is taken to one of the provided web URLs. URLsplit allows to associate up to 7 different web URLs to a single link.

Makes no sense? Check out this example link (click more than once). Every click should take you to a different makeuseof.com page (3 pages in total).

URLsplit - Link to multiple addresses simultaneously

I can’t think of any particular use for it, but I am sure there are plenty of things you can do with it. If you got any tips or suggestions let us know in comments.

    Here’s an idea if you have multiple web sites: use it for a single-link email signature, or a “random site” like button on one of your sites. I haven’t done it yet, but I think I’ll try it since in addition to http://www.aspaceintime.com , I also have drafting.aspaceintime.com, foodservice.aspaceintime.com, and cadd.aspaceintime.com…

    P.S. Love your site!

    I guess one potential use for it would be to share the bandwidth load for something you know in advance is likely to experience a lot of hits … although it does then rely on the ability of urlsplit.com’s server to cope with that scenario so it may just move the problem somewhere else.

    Splitting bandwidth load seems like a good idea, especially for ‘click here for a larger image’ type links. I wouldn’t worry about urlsplit’s server capabilities since all it needs to handle are URL redirects.

    At first I was like “And StumbleUpon V2 begins – hmmm WTF?”, but finally got it. Nice one. ;-)
