User Friendly Url Shortening

By Beverly • October 13, 2009

tinyurl Url shortening is now popular hand in hand with microblogging services. The computer savvy would definitely have no problems in the maneuvering of these URL shortening sites. Let us take a look of some user friendly URL shortenings sites. There are 11 URL shortening sites being compared by Lee Odden on his article and I tired all of these and tried to come up with something that is easier for me to use for the microblogging services like twitter. I found is.gd, tweetburner and budurl a little bit confusing to use especially that I am always in a hurry to shorten a url but once you get used to these sites you find it easy to use them. But tinyURL, cligs, zima, bitly, snipurl.com, poprl.com,ad.vu, tr.im, the easiest to use for neophytes. tiny url though is much more closer to the hearts of the many new users for you do not have to sign up to get a short url.

I use so many url shortening in my daily promotion and it helps a lots when you know several. for marketing purposes, these url shortening sites give you different ways of posting one url. Thus, you can promote one url several times with different url short cuts. The different url short cuts will hinder the monotonous look of your profile. What are the uses of the url shortening besides those I mentioned?

About the Author

Beverly

Reading is my passion. To create pictures from words is my dream. To be able to write and convey message, influence and move people is one of my fantasies. Avery effective writer at that. I also want to be an educator... not only in the four corners of a classroom but also beyond those enclosures. I want to be an educator... of life, love, languages and travel. I have already started the process of becoming one. I am studying to get a certificate for teaching to get a licensed and become a licensed educator. Let it be through internet or through a university. It will take me a year to complete my Professional Education. I have always been fascinated with languages and now is the right time to reach it. I aim to communicate at least 1 European language let it be Spanish, Italian or French. To be able to widen my horizons and reach out and understand articles and blogs beyond the English language. Besides reading and writing… travel… is another glory. Someday I will be able to blog about cities that captures the heart of many. I am also a fanatic of Greek Mythology and Inspirational Stories and Poem. One poem written by an 85 year old woman dying of cancer “If I have My Life to Live All Over Again” and a short story “The Story of Rose” are just two of my favorites.
