Tiny URLS!!

Don't you hate huge URLs that put horizontal scrollbars on your DU posts?

http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/Missouri/Cities/Saint_Louis/Education/College_and_University/Private/Washington_University_in_St__Louis/News_and_Media/

Or wrap around when you put them into emails making them invalid unless the email recipient manually pieces the parts together?

Ta Da: TinyURL.com!

This service has changed my life. Now instead of the ungainly monstrosity above, this wil take you to the same place:

http://tinyurl.com/2b4al

No need to thank me, really. Now go out into the world and spread the joy!
