" Welcome to TinyURL!

 

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent

causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then

you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field

below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings

and never expires. "

 

Here's the tiny-ified chicken photo URL:

 

http://tinyurl.com/6a2c

 

It's the same page, the same url, just tiny enough to follow.

 

If you would be so kind, please run those 3 line url's through this

service before posting them to the group. (They do expand to the

original URL when followed in case you really want to see and perhaps

pester someone else with the enormous address.)

 

Thanks,

Matthew

 

PS I'm not affiliated with Tinyurl.com in any way. I'm just a big fan

of their service.
