"Alice doesn't live here anymore, she lives in TinyURL."
TinyDisk is a program from saving and retrieving files from TinyURL and TinyURL-like services such as Nanourl. It overlays a write-once-read-many anonymous, persistent and globally shared filesystem. Once something is uploaded, only the database admin can delete it. Everyone can read it. No one can know who created it. Think of it as a magical CD-R that gets burned and placed on a network.
Slashdotted: Seems I made slashdot this morning. Just a note, I am not abusing TinyURL and its end is rather overrated. Please read the FAQ to better understand this.
TinyDisk requires Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) 1.5 or greater to be installed. You may download the JRE from Sun's website.
