Imagine trying to repeat it on the phone, or type it in a email...yikes!!!

Tiny Url to the rescue!!! Tiny Url is a FREE service that allows you to copy paste your url into textbox, click a button and turn the link above into this:

It works with any url and will not break in email, or ever expires. Even Visual Studio Magazine now uses it.
