Re-working a URL for convenience and readability
When emailing a long URL, many people (myself included) go to
tinyURL to get a shorter version to minimize problems with cut and paste.
For those that choose not to, I present
GiantURL
For example, the URL for this web post is:
http://www.synthstuff.com/mt/archives/individual/2009/04/
reworking_a_url_for_convenience_and_readability.html
Run through TinyURL it becomes this:
http://tinyurl.com/cxz43m
Run through GiantURL it becomes this:
