Tiny cc

Tiny URL is very easy to use. All you have to do is plug in your long URL and TinyURL generates a shorter URL for you. I have used  a similar TinyURL page so that it would be easier to post links on Facebook. For example, I used TinyURL to post my Google Forms survey and spreadsheet on Facebook. Originally the link to my spreadsheet was 107 characters long. Trying to post that in a Facebook comment takes several lines, and often won't link up properly. TinyURL turned my link into one with only 26 characters, which is much easier to work with.
You can use Tiny URL anytime you need a short or easy to remember URL.  Not only would this be useful for Facebook as I mentioned earlier, but also Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Ebay, blogs, forums, and message boards.  Tiny URL allows you to monitor traffic statistics, which in my opinion is the neatest tool they offer.  This tool shows you statistics, charts, and even country abbreviations. Tiny URL also permits users to  preview links for safety purposes, make custom URLs, and many other services.

ISTE/NETS:
3c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.  TinyURL is a great tool to help make communicating with others simpler.  It is much easier to copy and paste a URL that is 26 character long rather than 107.
2a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. This is a relevant tool that students may be able to use in their blogs, on Facebook, or Twitter.
