==================

==================
URL Shortening
==================
As soon as you open the application (if you have a link copied to your clipboard--shortened or not) it will automatically be placed into the appropriate text field. If you dont have a link copied, you can easily type one up.

Once you have the link you want shortened or expanded just press the appropriate button and within seconds you will have a shortened URL or an expanded one.

Shortening Services:

*Bit.ly
*Cli.gs
*Is.Gd
*Rfly.me
*Tr.im
*Short.ie
*Zi.ma
*TinyURL
and MANY more to come in the future!

Now you can shorten all your favorite URLS easily with any of your favorite shortening services.

==================
URL Expanding
==================

What is URL expanding? Well, it takes a shortened URL from any service and expands it to what the original link was.

Using Flex Link, expanding a URL is just as easy as shortening one. When the app is opened and if the app detects that your clipboard has a link that has been shortened by a famous shortening service it will automatically be placed in the expanding text field and from there you can press one button and find out what the link is.

Why is this useful?
URL Shortening may be nice for many, but it can also be concealing viruses and websites that you dont want to be on. How do you know though without clicking on it? Well, Flex Link is your answer. Now you can check suspicious links and find out where they are really leading and if you feel safe enough going there.

==================
Thats not all though!
==================

You can share your shortened/expanding link with Twitter, Facebook, via email, or just copy it for a different application. All this can be done from within the app itself. You can also get the name of the website automatically of the link to add to your post.
