Didn’t know about the preview thing, but that’s really killing the “Tiny” part of it! As to the bookmarklet, consider that to be coming soon. So nyah.

And as to pseudo-sentances, there IS one. Shorty. http://get-shorty.com/
Doesn’t exactly make things Tiny, but you could create URL’s like “Teach42.com/AndyIsATwinkie” to go to your blog (why don’t you have a blog yet?)

Pretty cool, but since I use this primarily for Twitter, size is most important!

That just seems wrong. tinyurl is fantastic. Did you know that if you prefix the tinyurl with preview
http://preview.tinyurl.com/33emjo
you can see where the thing is going to? Does teach42 do that? Does teach42 have a bookmarklet?
My biggest complaint is that all of these sites make impossible to remember extensions. What about a wordurl that would create psuedo sentences as the url?

…and if you would rather make a URL really, really long, try out http://hugeurl.com/. It takes a URL and makes it much longer. In fact, the Huge URL for this post is:

(and if you wonder why you’d ever want a long URL…this service is just a gag. It really works, though!)
