Abstract
Methods and systems may provide for detecting a sharing event with respect to an original uniform resource locator (URL) and replacing one or more characters of the original URL with a context attribute of the sharing event to obtain a modified URL. Additionally, a user prompt may be generated, wherein the user prompt includes a recommendation to substitute the modified URL for the original URL. In one example, at least a portion of the context attribute is independent of a web page associated with the original URL.

A method comprising:
- detecting a sharing event with respect to an original uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the sharing event includes a user-initiated copy of the original URL;
- replacing one or more characters of the original URL with a context attribute of the sharing event to obtain a modified URL;
- and
- mapping the modified URL to the original URL.
A system comprising:
- a share detector to detect a sharing event with respect to an original uniform resource locator (URL);
- a context adapter communicatively coupled to the share detector, the context adapter to replace one or more characters of the original URL with a context attribute of the sharing event to obtain a modified URL;
