Attachment: sendtotv_url.jpg

Now "send to tv" tutorial is polished, but shorten add-on URL is 
difficult to read. Please see attached(captured on b2g-desktop@ubuntu),
http://mzl.la/1SrJl5I. "l","1","l"?

Please change it more easy one.

Hi Fischer,
Please help to revise the URL. Thanks!

There are 2 possible improvement approaches:

(1) Since http://mzl.la/1SrJl5I. "l","1","l"? depends on the system default font style, we could try to pick another font style making "l" and "1" quite distinct. However, this would make the font style visually inconsistency on UI.

(2) According to the bug 1244634, http://mzl.la/1SrJl5I is picked up by Joe. Maybe we could switch to another one, like, http://bit.do/send-tab-to-tv

Could we hold a quick meeting/discussion on how to approach this issue?

Thank you.

we can generate another mzl.la URL without i 1 l ?
if we use another 3rd party service, i'd like to have sanity check with Elvin or Braden

mzl.la is provided by Bitly and Bitly seems have a way to customize the shorten link [1]. Maybe some one in operation team can help configure it on https://bitly.com/1SrJl5I+ ?
