TINY URL
Shortcutting that makes posting long links manageable

We've all had this problem - a link that looks like this:

"http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?map.x=302&map.y=156&mapdata=afbX8DbyAoesP8oMVXE9yH15Yqfri%252f0FnbmKKpfMbrjLn0o8BLJ1%252bTQRc5bB8ZoqtlOeDdZwlJtHLgfMIVHUWlmPWw8uDAvn6M%252bkyj2OhU7lZS%252fzgR6gc6Gc6UR0nFUKiKZ%52fUA1FA7i4GoxVbNUmI3sVoXmLsVCjdi1tcAxjLEEXFdAvuJU%252bwjYfFeWO15n%252fiFsgXNxKDxWULBFtyxoa65AuWb0a5SU%52ftWdT4P7e8CtC9acf37axZa%252fI2MWC7g54TPL6YB%252bwcKdZuh60N%252fb83BrfUSLSD%252ffK1nJ16Ma8D%252fc%253d&click=center"

Well, what if it could be turned into this: http://tinyurl.com/6

And it worked! That's the genius of TINYURL, the E-R cool link of the week! By entering in a long URL into TinyURLs text field, a tiny URL that will not break in email postings is created. And it never expires.

KUDOs to Simmie at the KABC COMPUTER SHOW USER GROUP for sharing this one.
