Google URL Shortener

Just discovered Google URL Shortener.  This is where you can paste your very long, long Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to have it shorten:

Here is an example of a very long, long Uniform Resource Locator (URL)...

It is definitely a shorter link vs what you can get at tinyURL.com

This is great for people like me who like to collect links to sites where I can find useful or interesting information.  A shorter link does not take up too much space to save in my file and is also less messy to copy and paste to share it with my friends.

Happy shortening.
