I often want to send someone a link from a website - the problem is they are now getting so long (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/iMac-Desktop-2-4GHz-1GB-250GB/dp/B0018O9QUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1231662830&sr=8-1) they dont easily copy and paste and still make sense. In fact they get broken by my favourite IM, GoogleTalk.
I've used tinyurl.com before - give it a long URL and it gives you, yup, a tiny URL back that you can pass on. Now that adds copying the URL, going to tinyurl.com two clicks and then copy again to the process. So I had a look for an extension, and found http://tinyurl.com/6ye7zg
It works perfectly. I turn off some of the butttons in the preferences but it works really well.
