Represent Recommends: Cool Concept – Tiny URL

Posted on Jun 6, 2007

Occasionally I receive hyperlinks that are so long I’m not sure where they end and sometimes I am too lazy to try and copy the whole thing and paste it into my browser (although 3 quick clicks should select the whole paragraph), here’s a briliant solution – TinyURL.  Tiny takes those long addresses and makes them tiny.  As simple as that. 

We let TinyURL explain:

An example –
Turn this URL:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&mqmap.x=300&mqmap.y=75&mapdata=%252bKZmeiIh6N%252bIgpXRP3bylMaN0O4z8OOUkZWYe7NRH6ldDN96YFTIUmSH3Q60zE5XVqcuc5zb%252fY5wy1MZwTnT2pu%252bNMjOjsHjvNlygTRMzqazPStrN52f1YzA0oWEWLwkHdhVHeG9sG6cMrfXNJKHY6fML4o6Nb0SeQm75ET9jAjKelrmqBCNta%252bsKC9n8jslz%252fo188N4g3BvAJYuzx8J8r%252f1fPFWkPYg%252bT9Su5KoQ9YpNSj%252bmo0h0aEK%252bofj3f6vCP
into this tinyURL:

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

SWEET!
