They say necessity is the mother of all inventions, except for the bastard children of people looking to be lazy and productive.
Tinyurl has been around for a long whiles now and many of you probably use it on a daily basis and don't even know it. Websites use it to hide links, people use it to make it easier to tell someone a link over the phone as well as using it to overcome the limitation of how many characters you can type in a mobile browser.
It is very straight forward and best of all it is free. As we say at Ask the Admin - Free is for me!
Just go on over to http://www.tinyurl.com Input the link and boo yah you are returned with a short link.
Use it how you will. For good or evil - to get porn links through email filters, freak out your friends with unexpected goatse or something equally as disturbing (Rick Rolling) ... Any ideas?
Do you use tinyurl or something similar?
