Have you ever found this really great website and wanted to send it a friend or colleague via email, but the URL was super long? If the link is too long, by the time it reaches the email recipient, the link could wind up broken because it’s split over a couple of lines. Unfortunately your recipient won’t be able to view the great site you sent. Here’s a tip to shorten that link to alleviate that situation once and for all!
-
Go to www.snipurl.com
-
Copy the long URL into the “long URL” field.
-
To the right, you will see “nickname”. This is where you can specify what you want the link’s nickname to be (example: http://snipurl.com/shortened. Shortened now becomes the nickname.
-
Click “snip it”.
-
Your new snipurl is created – copy and use it to your hearts content.
Happy snipping everyone!!!!
