Hey there folks, this is episode 5 of WebReviewTv and today we are going to look at the website called TinyUrl.com.
Hey, everyone! I am your host Edward Perry and we are going to cover a very popular website called TinyUrl.com. This website has been used by many different people and companies to condense the size of their Url’s that they give out in email, blog post Facebook status and Tweeter.
This type of website not only reduces the difficulty for sending very long Url’s to a friend, but this site like for sites like Tweeter it is also is a huge space savings so you can send more information just that 255-character allowed space.
Well, let us take a look at this site. Here is the TinyUrl.com website. This site is pretty easy to navigate. Basically, you take an existing Url. You put it in this Url box. So, for example we want to take the shortest Url already but, Url web tv.com and we are going to paste it in here. And we are going to make this into a tiny Url.
Okay, now it is giving us our TinyUrl. All we have to do is take this tinyUrl. Copy it. Come to Tweeter and say, doing review of TinyUrl.com. View the review. And then this way, we have a nice little link. And when Tweeter updates, we will be able to click on this link and what does it do? It brings us up to webreviewtv.com. That is the whole site. And that is how you use it. They say the Url is good forever. So, go ahead and use it. Put it on your websites. This is the most popular one out there. It does not really give you many extra features like tracking of who is clicking on it or stuff like that. It is literally this simple.
So, if you want to see if who is having your website and your Url’s, you might want to use something like TraceUrl.com or another website. I guess that we are going to do a Montage probably later, but you know this is a good thing to get started. To help you out with your Tweetering or blog postings or stuff like that.
So, check it out. Okay, as you can see the advantage of this technology, it is very beneficial especially when micro blogging websites and making it easier in some cases not to fill up the entire line with an email with the Url. There are other sites out therem they are competitors to this website or at least a very similar thing. Many would do a collage of them in the future to give you all the possibilities. Now, either like thanks for watching. If you have any comments or suggestions, I would be glad to read them. Send them to your comments@webreviewtv.com.
