Convert Long URLs to TinyURLs in DJ, websites and in e-mails.
Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.
In Digital Journal or in any site we have long URLs for example this is one of mine:
e.g: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/122572/Eco_friendly_nanoparticles_to_keep_Clothes_clean_longer_less_washing
When you e-mail this link or post it in the website, it will be prone to errors because of carriage return an broken space, in which case lead to a broken link.
This TinyURL helps us immensely by making this long link into a short link it is very easy to do.
1. Go to TinyURL
2. Copy the long link you want to change it into short link. Paste it in the window shown below in TinyURL.com.
3. Click the "Make the TinyURL!" button, it will create a short link. In this example it converts the long link to http://tinyurl.com/3d3mn8
4. Now you can paste this TinyURL in the e-mail or at the site or in comment section also, instead of the long link.
I found this out today, I am sharing it with you. If you know this already, you can suggest how you did it so it will be useful for others.
