Magic links that never die
Sorry, they actually died. This site is non functional and awaiting repair.
purl.ly lets you create a Permanent URL that will always show your intended content. If the page moves, we'll update your link automatically. If the page disappears, we'll update your link to return a cached version of the content instead.
The web changes constantly, leaving a trail of broken links across blogs and forums. Ever spent hours on a document or presentation only to discover that one of the links changed and you delivered a frustrating "File Not Found" instead? Would you like a document's links to still work 3 months from now, no matter what?
Permanent urls guarantee a decent user experience when clicking on a link by returning something instead of nothing. With the purl.ly url permanence service, you can post extremely durable links with confidence.
