Hello! Who are you, and what business did you start?

Hi, my name is Tim Leland, and I am the creator of a simple URL shortener and link management tool, T.LY.

My goal is to make creating short links a one-click process. This goal led me to create a browser extension that makes it easy to create, share, and track short URLs.

Currently, T.LY has over 8 million short URLs and has tracked over 80 million clicks. The Link Shortener extension has over 350,000 active users. T.LY is an affordable alternative that has thousands of users and is currently making over $2,600 a month.
