YOURLS: Make Your Own URL Shortening Service

URL shortening services are ubiquitous on Twitter. Google URL Shortener at goo.gl is currently available for Google products, such as Buzz. goo.gl seems a perfect domain (very short and composed of parts of the word "google") for google.
.GL is short for Greenland, which is a self-governing Danish province located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The registration fee for a .gl domain is quite expensive, $129.00 for year, instead of $10!
YOURLS is a set of PHP script that will allow you to run your own URL shortener, a la TinyURL.
You can make it private or public, and a WordPress plugin makes integration with your WordPress blog (and Twitter) a snap.
Yourls, a server-based webapp that can run pretty much anywhere a WordPress installation can. There are lots of other options, which we'll get to as well, but Yourls is a fairly smart and fast way to get up and running with your own URL shortener.

Virgin Media Netgear Wireless Router Username and Password

As Virgin Media customer, if you find your wireless router is Netgear, then you may type the router's setup URL into a web browser address bar. http://192.168.0.1 is the default Netgear router IP address. http://192.168.1.1 will work for some Netgear models.
