How do you describe a new website which does not have anything like it anywhere on the web? I was thinking i should just tell you to go to http://icanhaz.me and see for yourself what this website is all about. But then I realized that many of you are going to abandon that thought and it would really be a shame if you didn’t hear about the latest GreenPixel invention: the funny URL generator.

When you go to http://icanhaz.me, the first thing that’s going to capture your attention is the huge cat with a passive smile. It has the same color as Garfield yet the smile reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Whatever the case is, this cat looks pretty cool so we have a cool mascot for a cool new website. What does this website do that makes it so special you ask? Well, aside from giving you a couple of things to laugh about, it’s a very original method to attract traffic to a certain website: the anonymous link.

http://icanhaz.me can give you an Icanhaz link which, whenever it is clicked, it will lead the clicker to the website of your choice. In order to “configure” this option and get this link, you have to go http://icanhaz.me. In the first blank white box, you have to type the word or words that come after the slash in the web address. For example, if you choose “coca-cola”, the link that icanhaz will give you http://icanhaz.me/coca-cola (with the condition that no one else has chosen coca cola before you did). After you typed in “coca cola” it’s time to move on to the second white box. This is where you have to paste the link of the website to which http://icanhaz.me/coca-cola will redirect all its clickers, for example, the official Coca Cola website (it’s not mandatory for the icanhaz link and the real link to actually have a connection).



And this is how you get your anonymous link. I can get my own http://icanhaz.me/mangojuice which can lead to an online store that sells Nike clothes. Like I said, one link does not have to be connected to another and I think that’s why they call it “the funny URL”. You never know where live (or internet) may take you. This is how you can bring a lot of visitors if you have a website that makes profit from publicity. Post the icanhaz link on different blogs or forums and the people clicking it will be redirected to your website. The advantage is that if they saw the regular URL, they probably would have never clicker the link and here you have the benefit of users not knowing what they’re getting themselves into.



Putting all jokes aside, http://icanhaz.me can be a lot of fun if you randomly type in words after “.me/” and see where that takes you too. I guarantee that some folks have chosen the weirdest keywords for even weirder and funnier websites. It’s time to see what kind of fun I can haz me.
