What's That: TinyURL
So, if you're anything like me, you read a dozen emails, blog or Facebook posts everyday with a link which begins with "http://tinyurl.com" What is that all about?
TinyURL is a service that allows you to send a lengthy link like this:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&mqma
p.x=300&mqmap.y=75&mapdata=%252bKZmeiIh6N%252bI

as
http://tinyurl.com/9
Not only is it easier on the eyes, the much shorter link won't break in an email either.
