Making unruly links nice and tiny

If you have a long link to send or post, why not check out TinyURL to make it short and manageable. As an example, here is the Google local business listing for Realising Designs:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=realising+designs+canterbury&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=16.157221,39.550781&ie=UTF8&ll=51.289017,1.084256&spn=0.016667,0.038624&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A&iwd=1&cid=12036402316830049164

And after being made Tiny and TinyURL:

I hope you find it useful to know and it can remove some of the annoyances of long links, such as being broken by word wrapping.
