You offer a cool service. I noticed you have a short link option, such as http://ecdsa.org/a/1Q7DQVTubb . However, perhaps you could consider firstbits, a slightly more elegant algorithm, such as http://firstbits.com/?a=1Q7DQV based on the minimal unambiguous case insensitive prefix in blockchain order (f.ex. genesis address is 1, followed by 12, 1H, 1F, 15, 1J, 1G, 16, 1J6, 12c, 15y, 1d, 1P).
