   !LinkPot allows you to convert long, complicated and hard-to-read-out-loud URLs into simple URLs containing real words. !LinkPot links are ideal for things like podcasts, or any situation where you are required to pass on a link verbally rather than via text. Also, they're great to send to mobile phones, as the words will be easily picked up by predictive text systems.
 
+To use PlinkPot, first download it:
 
- * [browser:plinkpot/linkpot View]
  * [browser:plinkpot/linkpot?format=raw Download]
  * Checkout: `svn co http://svn.bleah.co.uk/repos/misc/plinkpot/`
+
+Simply pass a URL on the command-line:
+{{{
+linkpot URL
+}}}
+Example:
+{{{
+$ linkpot 'http://atchoo.org/videos/omfm/'
+http://linkpot.net/beard/
+}}}
+
+To use PlinkPot in [http://irssi.org/ irssi] create an alias to execute it:
+{{{
+/alias POT exec -o linkpot 'URI'`
+}}}
+Now `/pot http://atchoo.org/videos/omfm/` will output `http://linkpot.net/beard/`.
