How to Hide the Original URL With TinyURL
Websites with long URLs are sometimes difficult to share; if you're pasting it into an email, instant message or other text-based medium, the link may "break" and be unusable. TinyURL is a free link shortening service that allows you to paste in a link and receive a shorter URL that displays the TinyURL domain instead of the original website.
