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).
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.
Go to URLsplit [www.urlsplit.com]
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.
@TallPaul
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.
@ Michael
What about random email signature ?

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