Creating a Tiny URL

Have you ever sent a really long URL link to someone in an email, only to have them tell you that they couldn't open it? Sometimes things get lost in translation or on line breaks.


When you are using really long links and would like to shorten them up for a forward, try this site:

http://tinyurl.com/

An example from their website:

Turn this URL:

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5336224516&toolid=10001&customid=tiny-hp&ext=unicycle&satitle=unicycle

into this tinyURL:

http://tinyurl.com/unicycles

Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That's the power of TinyURL!
