TinyURL

I loath long, unwieldy URLs as much as anyone else. And I'm partially responsible for some of the really long URLs out there. For dynamic content, short predictable URLs aren't really feasible. But by using redirection, URLs can be shortened. TinyURL can make the unwieldy be, er, um, wieldy.

The TinyURL for this blog is http://tinyurl.com/venf. Including letters and digits, TinyURL can support over 1,6 million URLs with only four characters.
