Some website links are way to freakin’ long. You may want to copy and paste the address into a messenger or post it on a forum but the huge

address is a pain to deal with. There is a service I started using at the beginning of this year which takes any long web address and shrinks it into a very short one in return.

The service is from the website Bit.ly. It is 100% free to use. It is not necessary to sign-up for a free membership to use but doing so allows you to keep track of all the short web links you have created. A really cool feature that I like is that you can also customize your web links. So if the site spit out a URL with the address of www. bit.ly/Y73r94J, you can change it so something like, www. bit.ly/MyCustomLink.
