To which, I say YUDATL!
Now you say what the heck is YUDATL?
See I like tinyurl. Like many other url economizers, it takes long urls and smashes them down to size.
So
has a length of 110 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters:
Hence YUDATL.
I have a text file on my machine of tiny links. You’d be surprised at how useful this is.
So don’t give people long links. Or, when you give it over the phone, give the tiny link. It’s a lot less error prone.
You can also make a TinyUrl out of a mailto:crazyguy@theuniverse.org and that resultant short link will trigger an email.
Neat.

Came across this post via the google. Re: lists of shortened links, give krunchd a try. It’s a URL shortener that lets you combined multiple URLs into one short one. So, you give it 5 URLs, and it gives you back one shortened URL that leads to your list. You can go back and edit the list later, too. Very handy. Try http://krunchd.com/gobecky – neat, huh? (No, I don’t work for them… just like them very much. /smile)
