Google’s tinyURL
July 22, 2008
I only recently discovered the benefits of TinyURL. Instead of posting “http://atlanta.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/2008/rainy-day_date_spot”, I can write “http://tinyurl.com/6×9kv8″ and direct you to the same page.
Apparently Google SMS sends shortened versions of links in response to mobile searches. They either A) are TinyURL to create this mini-URL or B) have created their own version and simply refer to it by the same name.
