Have you ever had to email someone a list of websites? A set of links for research or a project? How about a bunch of torrent files you want to get to your girlfriend?

Sure you can send them the old fashioned way and hope you don’t get your email bounced or you can check out a little web site called 1link.in.

They allow you to create a single link TinyUrl style and when your recipient clicks on your simple 1 link URL, all your included websites will open up in their browser. Let’s take a look at how it works and how it can help you out!

I started by going to their website here and you can see by the screenshot below how easy it is to actually use. There is no registration or login required (but one can get you some other features). I did not sign up and jumped right in:

You simply type your fully formed URL’s into the box. One URL on each line and remember they need to be properly formatted. The same way you would type them into your browser is the same way you should type them here.

I grabbed a few links and pasted them into the 1link box as you can see below:

There we go a link from my website, a link to my articles on MakeUseOf and a link to a lesser know tech site, Bauer-Power, that i find very interesting. You see they are each on their own lines. As simple as can be!

I then clicked the 1link button (you can also check the Link Password Box to add a Password) and that submits your request for the 1link url.

After the site thought for a second it spit this page back at me:

You see the 1link link is displayed as a hyperlink that you can copy and paste, as well as a list of the URL’s in the 1link link and if you choose a password it will be displayed here as well.

Check out my 1link url here: http://1link.in/xznci. That will bring up the following page:

Click Open and you will be prompted with this window:

Click OK and your links will open, each in a separate tab like so:

Few other similar tools that were mentioned on MakeUseof Directory are:

- Shrink2One: Merge A Bunch of Weblinks Into One
