You may have experienced that annoying problem of copying and pasting a huge link to a co-worker or friend. You miss a letter and you get nothing and then you are sending a dead link to your contacts. There is a cool little web based tool that allows you to take really long links and convert them into small / tiny ones. The site is called www.tiny.cc and is super easy to use.
1. Take you super long link and copy it
2. Open the site www.tiny.cc
3. Paste the link into the box labeled Long URL
4. Click on Go Tiny
5. Copy the new shorter link and send to your friends and co-workers
There are some great tools for free out on the web and this has become one of my favorites.
Hope you all enjoy
