Why are short grab.by sequential and predictable?

TinyGrab uses a sequential method of shortening links to grabs. We follow the same techniques that are used by other URL shorteners, such as bit.ly, is.gd, TinyPic and TwitPic. We do this so that we can give you the smallest possible URL that we can provide.

Please be aware that it is easy for people to 'stumble' across any grabs uploaded with a short URL, by simply typing in random character sequences. We strongly advise you NEVER to upload anything with sensitive information. You can turn short URLs off, and use secret long encrypted URLs instead, by visiting your Online Control Panel.
