Make that loooooooong URL short in Firefox.

Look at this:

http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com/

And this:

http://tinyurl.com/16gu

Which one is easy to remember? {I know some of you might also say the first option :P}

You will not choose the first one because you:

  • Can’t tell others the address of a website
  • You can’t remember this {Unless you are a Π champion}
  • In most of the cases, long Urls are not search engine friendly
  • You are not in a mood to break their record :D {They are claiming to have the longest URL in the world!}

OK enough talk and lets come to the point.

If you like to make URLs as short as you can, then do this from now with a few clicks and use tinyurl add-on for Firefox, because with this add-on, you don’t have to goto their homepage to convert long URL’s in short. You can add this feature in the right click menu of Firefox. By this add-on, you can not only create memorable URL’s, but can also visit later those Urls you have created.

Follow the steps below to know how to use this useful extension.

1-First of all, goto download page and then download the TinyUrl extension.

“CreateTinyUrl for this Page”

5-Then Goto Tools–>TinyUrl Creator–>View Saved to view your saved Urls

7-Done!

 

Hope that now you will use TinyUrl for all your “Url Compressing” needs and never complain again that why somebody gave you that long Url over IM because you know the solution for it. Right? :)
