Itsy bitsy teeny weeney URL’s
Ever get one of those disastrously long URL’s to copy and paste into your browser? Something like this:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/SaveMoney /SaveMoneyDyn.aspx?cp-documentid=9298194>1=33007
There’s a really easy simple way to give your friends small short URL’s so that they don’t have to type them in, or worry about getting them cut off in an email or twitter message.
The TinyURL service lets you put in the URL above and get this as an output:
http://tinyurl.com/6lmuzl
TinyURL has been around for a long time and is a reliable service. If you use Firefox, you can download the plugin which lets you right-click a URL and get the tiny version in your clipboard. Very useful for twitter messages.

I am going to start using them in our show notes since they are so easy to generate now.
