SANDILANDS OBSERVATORY

Tiny URL

One of the problems on the internet today is URL's that get so long you cannot click the link in the email because it wraps onto another line. A simple solution is to go to the Tiny URL website and with one click, you can turn a long URL into a short one.

The URL for a sample webpage on Microsoft is
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/design.aspx, 67 characters long, but when I run it through Tiny URL it comes back as http://tinyurl.com/jl7us - only 24 characters long. Anyone clicking on this tiny URL will still be directed to the original URL.
Note: You must have cookies enabled for this to work.
