EZR.me - URL Shortener

Your way of shortening is very inefficient. If I enter the same URL twice, I get two different links. Do a db lookup when the url is entered and see if it has ever been used before, before you generate a new link.

Why does that even matter? If for example someone wants to create a short link for this thread, then why shouldn't other people be allowed to do the same?

What I'm saying is if I enter http://creepyfrog.com and it gives me 65, then you go and enter the same url, it should also give you 65. I did it twice and got both 65 and 66. Imagine how many people are going to go enter http://google.com to test it. Once you start getting thousands of URLs, your database is going to grow and the larger it is, the less efficient it is.

That's true, however it's not a big issue at the moment. Maybe once I start getting thousands of URLs I can think about doing that.
