Free Online Collaboration and TinyURL
As you may have noticed, I don’t write a lot of entries solely written about a topic I believe I have expertise or more knowledge than someone else. When I have a “light bulb” moment to share an experience or thought I think is worth writing, I do.
The main intent of this blog is to bring to you the best news, freeware, tech tips and more that I have found reading the mountains of newsletters and web sites I have visited. A lot of my recommendations come from everyday experience with my clients who are seeking a specific software and/or I use myself.
TinyURL - “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.”
Turn this URL:

Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That’s the power of TinyURL! Click and drag the following link to your links toolbar.
TinyURL!
Once this is on your toolbar, you’ll be able to make a TinyURL at the click of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a TinyURL will be created for the page you are currently at.
This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your bookmarks instead of the links toolbar.
Don’t want to be instantly redirected to a TinyURL and instead want to see where it’s going before going to the site? Not a problem with our preview feature.
