Have you ever come across a url like this that you were trying to share with someone that looks like this: http://www.whatumacallit.com/thingamajig/23498709%.php?
As you can imagine, this could become pretty unwieldy. Depending on the recipient's email window, the url may end up wrapped on two lines, which means they'd have to copy and paste the it into their browser in order to visit the website.
I use the following two websites to solve the unwieldy url problem. As you can see, the url for my ezine's signup page is pretty narly: http://visitor.constantcontact.com/optin.jsp?v=0011ZF-NU4nD5hvF8f1LIo5s-lLP-iSc1RJere.
Tinyurl.com converts it to: http://tinyurl.com/2nhhu4
Snipurl.com converts it to: http://snipurl.com/1vu6o
Of the two, I prefer snipurl.com because it allows you to set easy to remember nicknames. So the url for my ezine's sign up page is now: http://snipurl.com/cmlezine.
