WayneShorter 
WayneShorter, named after the legendary Jazz musician, is a simple URL shortening service modeled after popular services such as goo.gl and bit.ly.
WayneShorter's headlining performance is made possible by the magic of Node.js and MongoDB.

Routes
GET /
Just a splash view of the legendary Wayne Shorter.
POST /shorten
When passed URLencoded form data, WayneShorter creates and returns an 8th note sized link in the following way:
http://shrtr.in/:identifier
Go ahead and give it a good cURL'n!
curl --data "payload=http://google.com" http://shrtr.in/shorten
RESPONSE:
{"payload":"http://google.com","identifier":"NksNRPPW","shortlink":"http://shrtr.in/NksNRPPW"}
GET /:identifier
When accessed, by its short identifier, the newly created shortlink whisks you away in a flurry of notes to the shortlink's destination.
