[DeTomaso] Fuel Pump Tiny URL

[thomas]

Isn't it simpler to just go to http://tinyurl.com and paste the long URL in one box, click the Make TinyURL! button and then copy the short URL and paste it wherever you want? No need to download and install anything. 

Cheers,
Thomas

> It is an Application you download to your computer.
> It is designed to be placed in your bookmark toolbar, which is where I

> For a short, but randomly generated Tiny URL, I just click the toolbar
> bookmark while I'm on the page I wish to share. It will take that
> window to Tiny URL where it displays the randomly generated Tiny URL. A
> simple highlight and copy and you have the Tiny URL ready to paste into
> your email. Back-click and you'll return to the web page.
> If you want a custom Tiny URL, such as I created for the fuel pump, it
> takes a couple more steps.
> While on the target web page, highlight and copy the entire URL as it
> shows in your browser window. THEN, click your Tiny URL toolbar
> bookmark to get to the Tiny URL website. On that page, in addition to
> the randomly generated Tiny URL, there is another box to fill in. It

> second box for your custom Tiny URL, which is your chosen suffix for
