Post2Tiny

Post2Tiny is a PHP utility I wrote in 2004 to take UK postcodes and would give you back a TinyURL linking to a Multimap map for that postcode. I used to host it on this site but I no longer support this functionality. However, I am happy to share the code – it is downloadable here.

This is my personal blog, where I blog about anything I like, but more often than not it's to do with digital culture, society, politics and the interaction between all three. All views here are, of course, mine personally and not necessarily those of my employers or associates.

As well as what I blog here, you might be interested in what I have to say on Twitter or my linklog on Delicious. I also blog for my employer, We Are Social, on social media agency-related stuff.
