URL Shorteners - make it easy to direct people to that long website.

Changes a long link into a short one. Example: http://tinyurl.com/jhsugarsync. My preference below is tinyurl because you have the option of choosing the last part of the link, so that rather than have 6-8 Captial and lowercase letters, you can choose a word, or something meaningful.

Application

You can write a very short url on the board to share it with students. Also great for sharing links on twitter.
