Have you noticed that long url’s can be very inconvenient, especially when you’re in an application that doesn’t allow hyperlinks, such as in comment threads? This can be especially frustrating if you’re in an application which severely limits the length of a post, such as Twitter, for mobile usage.

TinyURL.com solves this problem.

Following are the results of my attempt to shorten a url from one of the discussion threads in the Ft. Hard Knox discussion forum on Delphi.

The following url:http://forums.delphiforums.com/FortHardKnox/messages?msg=41.3 has a lenghth of 61 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters:

Great program – free and simple. Give it a try.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
