Tiny URL

Did you ever try to email a long web address (URL) and find out it didnt work for your recipient? How about linking a long URL on your web site?

Well, there is a solution to this problem. Its called Tiny URL. You can go to the web site and paste your long URL into a simple form and get a short URL to email or post. You can also download a button for your browser's tool bar, click the button from any web page and get a tiny url . The tiny url never expires. So if you need to email the same link, such as directions, you can keep reusing it. There is even a plug-in for Firefox that helps you make, save and manage URLs.

Here is an example from a link giving directions. Long: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&
;geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&
saddr=Chicago,+IL,+usa&daddr=Boston,+MA&a
mp;sll=42.043174,-87.632446&sspn=0.887264
