Quick Tip

026-2007

Change a long URL into a short one.

Below is an example.

http://www.ci.claremont.ca.us/ps.index.cfm?ID=1906 has a length of 50 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters: http://tinyurl.com/33rony

TIP: Go to the web site www.tinyurl.com. Enter the long URL address in the box provided and within seconds a shortened URL will be provided for you. This is really helpful if you are sending a URL in an e-mail and it is broken apart and the recipient has to copy and paste it together again to be able to use it or if you are using URLs in a bulletin, news letter or article. Be sure and make a shortcut to this web site so it will be easily accessible in the future.
