A TinyURL is a way to obfuscate — and simplify a long URL into something much simpler. Recently, I’ve seen more and more friends post them on sites such as Facebook. I think that these types of links and service are here to stay. In fact, one reason why I am writing about this is because I noticed a Wordpress Plugin that offers to turn every one of your links into a TinyURL — which while in concept I think is nice — but in practice is a terrible idea.
