SnipURL is a very cool web service that I stumbled upon today.
If you have to email long web addresses, simply go to SnipURL, enter it, and SnipURL will give you a short one.
I email out a lot of web addresses, and they are capital-U ugly … long, full of URL GET data, never mind the domain names themselves, which can be nasty enough. You run the risk of having them wrap in someone’s emailer and not working when you click on them. Besides, they’re nastly looking.
SnipURL can help get rid of all that. For instance, try this link: http://snipurl.com/mala.
It’s a lot better than this:
