This one is a wee gem, and a real example of how open source software works. Gilby Productions have developed Tinyurl and put it out there for anyone and everyone free of charge.
Have you ever received or sent a url, a web site address that was so long it got broken as it goes onto the next line and then frustratingly doesn't work. Visit Tinyurl. You take your long string of url paste it into the Tiny url box and hey presto it returns a much reduced string that you can then send to your friends, avoiding the chance of breaking the string.
And it gets better......... They offer an iconic link that you can drag to your Links toolbar, so a long url can be captured and shortened at the click of a button. How easy is that?
