Just because I mentioned it I would like to give them the service that is due.
TINYURL, Yes, tinyurl.com
One of the best little sites I have found on the internet. Ok, no, I didn't find it, I was told about it, but...
The have a link that you drag onto your quick-link bar so when you are on a page you just click the link and you go to there site. At this point the new tinyurl is in your clipboard waiting to be pasted somewhere. You could also navigate to there site, drop in your behemoth url and get the tiny one in return.
CHECK IT OUT:
tinyurl.com
