→Sharing long complicated URLs
===Sharing long complicated URLs===
Many of the URLs that users share with one another on IRC are long or complicated. Because some users work with command-line clients, it can be difficult to copy-and-paste these URLs into the browser. A better solution is to use [http://tinyurl.com TinyURL.com]. TinyURL allows users to paste and submit long URLs in order to generate a much shorter URL. A typical TinyURL , for example the location of Seneca on Google Maps, looks like this:
TinyURLs never expire, so passing them around in emails, newsgroup postings, etc. won't cause problems.
