shorten URLs using tinyurl

If you need to email a long URL to someone, it sometimes gets messed up if it's longer than 72 characters long. To get around this, you can use tinyurl. This is a website where you can put in any URL, and it will create a small URL (usually 25 characters long) that will redirect to your original URL. Pretty handy at times.
