Yikes, that's a LONG web address!

Do you ever share articles, posts from websites, or other items with friends or family?

 Isn't it annoying to have a long, long list of incomprehensible numbers and letters in the address?

 Do you actually want to use up all your available characters if you're sending the link via Twitter?

Among various online services, you may use Google’s URL shortener at http://goo.gl in a browser or simply use a mobile app on your smartphone. One of the third party apps I like to use based on this Google service is URL Shortener (goo.gl).

It is a free, great and handy tool to use.
