[Wcm] FW: URL's

[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

And the one from Google (thanks Ralph!): http://goo.gl/

Very handy when you have to deal with long URL’s which are difficult to remember, and which only contains letters/numbers

Just an interesting tool I thought I’ll share. It is called bit.ly<http://bit.ly>, and you can use it to generate short URL’s, e.g. try go to http://bit.ly/sunjournals and see what happens.

TinyURL http://tinyurl.com/ offers the same functionality.

Kind regards
Ina
