Last week, South African Tourism launched mzan.si – the first ever SA URL shortener – and the Quirk team are thrilled to have been a part of the process! Created and developed by the QuirkStars as part of SAT’s 2010 FIFA World Cup™ campaign, mzan.si allows anyone to shorten, track and share links easily through a number of social networks.
I happen to know that another local URl shortener has been around for a long while. That URL shortener is caledl href.co.za and guess what it does: allows anyone to shorten and share links easily through a number of social networks.
Was mzan.si really the first ever SA URL shortener then?
[update]
GatorURL is also another URL shortener launched about a year ago by the South African folks over at Afrigator.

10and5.com has been using its own internal URL shortening device for the last 4 or 5 months now. Not open for public though.
Rafiq, you're absolutely right!
It's certainly a first URL shortener used to market tourism in the country.
Thanks for the tip!

It's one of the most simple & innovative ways I've seen tourism being marketed online yet. Really nice! A first for tourism maybe but not “the first ever SA URL shortener”
Keep the good work coming
Yes – that would be the “key phrase” I left out.
Sorry about that folks.

Ye, it's the first one in the travel industry, but far from the first South African one.
