Are you tired of having conversations with your friends in IM and the link your trying to send actually cannot be sent or received and then you start having problems? Use the following website to fix that
http://tinyurl.com/ TinyURL allows you to change the extremely long url into something shorter and you can also decide to name it what you want, here an example, I'll be using this website
- KonamiWorldChampion
http://konamiwc.ogameplayer.com/- TinyURL
http://tinyurl.com/puppiesFTWUnder adding the actual link you have an option to name the rest of it by yourself but it must contain up to 6 characters or more alphabets/numbers, as you can see I added puppiesFTW but when they click the link it will bring them to this forum. This part is optional, if you don't add anything TinyURL will just generate a 6 characters for it and it should work. Click "allow access" to see the TinyURL link you just made.
TinyURL can be used on
any website, just make sure you disable it first other wise you will get to the tinyurl site and see the actual link if your trying to do this to your friends. You disable it by clicking the second link under the first link and make sure it says " You currently have the preview feature disabled. " If you do disable it you will be brought to the tinyurl site and the actual link will be shown if you disable tinyurl.
Oh by the way you can probably 'Rick Roll' people using TinyURL website xD
----------------------------------
The following URL:
http://konamiwc.ogameplayer.com/forum.htmhas a length of 41 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters:
http://tinyurl.com/lk52mx <---- You send this link out
[Open in new window]
Or, give your recipients confidence with a preview TinyURL:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/lk52mx <--- Disable/Enable
Open in new window]
---------------------------------
Note: I'm not quite sure if the TinyURL link I just made lasts forever or just temporary.
