Trick of the day: How to compress long URLs into very short ones

  • Article

Go to tinyurl.com. It's a wonderful idea - you get a simple, quick service that converts very long URLs into very short ones.

For example, one of my permalinks got converted into a very short URL which looks like this: https://tinyurl.com/45z4e

Update: Thanks to Jesse, who pointed out the ASP.NET version: https://shrinkster.com . My permalink is now also: https://shrinkster.com/3o6. I am also able to track the usage of this URL from here: https://shrinkster.com/Track.aspx?AddressID=3o6
