So if you’re like me you send people a lot of links to stuff and sometimes they can be absurdly long (think a link to Google Maps with directions from Puget Sound, Washington to Bayou La Batre, Alabama). However, I hate having to actually GO to a URL shortening site like bit.ly or tr.im, type in the URL, wait for the page to reload and then copy the URL from there. Why not just have a simple bookmarklet that you can fire open on any page you are browsing and get a short url right there? Well, I’ve created a bookmarklet that does just that.
Click the following link to test it out:
You can also drag that link to your bookmarks to make use of it for later. As usual you can find this and other projects I’ve completed to improve your browsing experience on my Projects page.
