If you’re wondering why, in the print edition of my column, you regularly see that funny looking “TinyURL” website address, wonder no more.
TinyURL is a little site where you can copy and paste long website addresses and have them converted to something a little easier to type. If you’re sick of posting website addresses _ also known as universal resource locater, or URLs — in e-mails, only to have them break when sent, then this is the site for you. The URL created for your site of choice will never expire.
This, dear reader, is my way of protecting you from straining your typing muscles.
