FastestLink.Net - Frequently Asked Questions

FastestLink.Net is a website designed to make certain collaborative tasks easier, especially while talking on the phone with someone. In addition, the easy to use approach allows for quick access to common websites and destinations.

By tying an easy to use word (or words) to a complex web link (URL), anyone typing that word will be taken to the website immediately. By sharing this data through the common interface available at fastestlink.net, one person can quickly build a link, tell the person they are talking to the key word (e.g. their name), and the other person can instantly be taken to the web page the first person is looking at. There is no quicker and easier way to connect 2 different people to a deep or complex link than this!

For public links, 1 hour. Website owners, iGoogle users, and other account holders can create up to 10 permanent links using their own unique key.

The whole point of the fastestlink.net is to merge the voice interface of the phone with the visual and in-depth power of the internet. These links are temporary so common names, words, and other phrases are constantly available. Since most phone conversations are less than 1 hour, this allows the links to be continually recycled.

The FastestLink.Net uses a simple list of common words to "extend" the entered word so there is no conflict. For example, lets say you enter Mary, but someone just used it. Your link will be forged as a 2 word link, using another word. Here is a portion of the list:

• next
• red
• bravo
• magic

So your link might be "Mary next" - for speed's sake, this is handled automatically. If for some reason you don't like what you get, you can retry, or choose another link name.

Well, the Fastest Link on the Net is reminiscent of the Fastest Gun in the West. Since guns can be forged, it only seemed appropriate that the fastest link on the net should be forged too…

Your name, e-mail address, and a password. If you are a website owner, you can submit your domain name to uniquely identify customized links for your customers and users.

You will receive a unique ID, that allows you to store up to 10 permanent links that can be accessed from the iGoogle gadget, or the native floating toolbar. This gives you a quick and easy way to get to your regularly visited websites. For website owners, you can have your own set of private hot links, so your words/names do not conflict with the public set.
