Submission + - urlHosted experiment: host content within the URL (graphicore.de)

graphicore writes: An experimental "unhosted" app that challenges the concept of the URL. By putting the post data after the # mark, the URL is (mis-)used as the data storage. You can store your data within your bookmarks list, host it via a URL-shortener(!) like here http://goo.gl/DYxr5m or attach it directly to a tweet https://twitter.com/lassefiste... I also attached the full-url to this slashdot post :-) This raises the question about who is hosting the content and it will probably break the internet. This is a quote from https://goo.gl/policy.html

Please remember that goo.gl directs you to content that is already in existence on the internet. This is not content hosted by Google.

It could also become a storage strategy for any other web app. The app is GPL v3, no strings attached.
