    What is Details.at?

    Details.at is a website that allows users to create a homepage, ads for bulletins and items for sale, and shorten url's to share and track for usage. Your homepage can display personal info, such as a social media homepage (facebook, myspace, etc). Or it can be a webpage that acts as your storefront or 'yardsale' table in which it presents you as a seller and lists all of the items you have for sale.

    Using custom forms and a clean, easy to use interface, users can place classified ads, create bulletin pages, and even post jobs and resumes. Each ad gets it's own details.at url so that it is easy to advertise your ad and share it on the internet.

    You can also use our site to shorten URL's. This is a process of taking a long, hard to write or remember, web site address and creating a shorter, catchier, easier to remember address that simply forwards visitors to the longer address.

    For example. You can turn this link:

    http://toucharcade.com/2010/02/15/street-fighter-iv-set-to-ultra-combo-the-app-store/

    into this:

    https://details.at/DJFU
