Long URL [web page address / link ] looks like a messy code. Sending such URL via eMail may get broken causing the recipient to have it cut and paste it back together in a browser to view the intended web page. Similar issues are also faced when posting long URL in a website. Today I have prepared my eGreeting with a message on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. I could not post the web page link into my Linked In and Twitter [ http://twitter.com/suryanarayanasv ] Accounts due to number of characters limitations. But I turned the following link:

How? A website called http://tinyurl.com helped me to resolve this problem by creating shortened / redirected URL in place of long link provided by me.
The whole idea of this site is to convert long URL into something short so that we can send it to whomever we like. Moreover, the new URL that is created instantaneously will never expire (even if the page made it from does) and it will never get broken into pieces. Another best feature of this site is to "Add TinyURL to any browser’s toolbar" and convert any web page with long URL being viewed by us could be shrunken down to a new shortened URL to clipboard for bookmarking. This online utility by http://tinyurl.com is probably one of the most useful Internet tools I’ve ever seen. I understand TinyURL has so far shortened more than 300 million URLs.

Bottom Line: There is absolutely nothing that anyone can say against this service - it’s perfect, TOTALLY FREE and deserves 10 stars, not just 5. So what are you waiting for? Go to http://tinyurl.com NOW and you’ll never have a broken URL again.
