How To Cut A Long URL Short (This post was originally made a few months ago at the loose wire blog. As part of efforts to streamline Loose Wire's online activities, the material at loose wire cache is being moved to the blog. A list of the resources can be under either the Resources list in the sidebar or the Resources category, also in the sidebar.) A way to turn long URLs into short ones, so you can paste links into emails without them wrapping (and therefore becoming unusable) etc etc. In most cases you just visit the site, enter the URL you want to abbreviate, and hey presto! you get a new short URL that should last forever. (A lot of them can be added to your browser toolbar via Javascript which makes the whole thing even easier.) * TinyURL - tinyurl.com * snipURL - snipurl.com * Metamark - metamark.net * shortlink - shortlink.us * v3.net - v3.net * shorl.com - shorl.com * makeashorterlink.com - makeashorterlink.com * ek.dk - add.redir.ek.dk * minilien.com - minilien.com * tinylink.com - tinylink.com * qurl.net - qurl.net * urljr.com - urljr.com * babyurl.com - babyurl.com * tinyclick.com - tinyclick.com * lin.kz - lin.kz * EvilURL - evilurl.com (thanks Jim Hughes) This is not yet exhaustive; much of this list is from notlong.com, which compares their features.
