When blogging, we often take a word or phrase and link it to a web site. No one really sees the link. They just click it and go. There are some times, though, when we have to show the URL just as it is. One example would be sharing a link on Twitter or in a electronic document where linking a word or phrase is not an option. Some URLs, especially those for linked documents buried in the back pages of a web site, can be extraordinarily long. Times like those are when you need a URL shortener. One of the easiest to use is Tiny URL. Bookmark this site and keep it handy. You will be able to shorten any URL quickly and easily. Here is a screen shot of the site. Add it to your tool bar. It's free.
