Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That's the power of TinyURL!
There is a link on the page that you can drag into your toolbar to create a TinyURL tool in your browser toolbar for converting those long URL's on the fly. Use it the next time you want to send a long URL to someone by email and be confident the URL won't break.
Way cool!
