1link.in: multiple links in one short url

New URL-shortening services start up all the time. To compete in such a crowded field, they have to distinguish themselves from the pack with a novel feature. For 1link.in, that's multiple links shortened into one, with one click to open each of the links in new tabs. There's also a password option, and the ability to register so you can keep track of all your saved links.

One advantage of 1link.in is transparency. If you click on a 1link url, you'll see which links it contains. You can click one to open it individually, or open them all at once in separate tabs. That way, you won't get blindsided by a friend who wants you to open 15 different YouTube videos at work. 1link might also become the url-shortener of choice for software pirates: the site's about page pushes it as a way to share multiple RapidShare links at once.
