Kevin Gilbertson is a web developer best known as the creator of TinyURL, a URL shortener, i.e. a web service that provides short aliases for redirection of long URLs, launched in January 2002.
According to Wired, Gilbertson had been riding unicycles since he was a kid, and created TinyURL to convert postings on unicycling newsgroups into Web pages (since fewer people know their way around newsgroups than the Web).[1] Google's AdSense links covered operating costs.
Gilbertson, known by friends as "Gilby," lives in Blaine, Minnesota, near Minneapolis. He learned about computers from his father, a software developer, with whom he also rides unicycles as part of the Twin Cities Unicycle Club.[2]
