When sharing URL’s to specific websites, the length of the URL can be overwhelming. This especially happens when linking deep into a particular website such as http://www.nationalgeographic.com/places/photos/places-athens-gallery-1/athens-1-odeon-concert.html.
To print this URL and have someone type it in the browser is inviting a mistake (not to mention that it takes way too long). To remedy this, try using a free online website such as TinyURL to shorten the URL. This site allows you to enter (or paste) a URL into a field then creates a shorter link. It turned the above link into: http://tinyurl.com/yuogfh.
This can come in pretty handy!
