TinyURL
Have you ever tried to email or IM somebody a link from a site that has a ridiculously long URL, only to have the link break because it was too long or got cut off? Well now you can make any long, bulky URLs shorter right from your toolbar with the TinyURL button, powered by TinyURL.com, the popular link shortening service. The TinyURL button brings TinyURL.com's link shortening functionality right to your toolbar. You can create a TinyURL from the page you're visiting, or any URL, with ease. Just navigate to your desired URL, click this button and you'll receive the new shortened link at TinyURL.com. The TinyURL is also automatically copied to your clipboard so you can save it and use it again later. Now you can use this short URL in emails, IMs, blog posts, comment sections, Twitter or anywhere you want to paste a web link. Short URLs are seen as useful because they are easier to write down, remember or pass around, are easier to copy and paste, are less error-prone to write and also fit where space is limited. So now you can trim unwieldy URLs with ease right from your toolbar with the TinyURL button.
