    stk8.co, a multiple URL/Text shortener.▲10

    I am sorry to submit this again, but I feel it didn't get its share yesterday on HN. So I am giving it one last try. stk8.co allows you to stack several Links or Text and share them under one shortened url. It embeds a preview of the link for common services like youtube, vimeo, amazon, cnn, scribd, etc... It also has a bookmarklet to easily stack links. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
