The last in a series of mini-posts, normal (aka more prolix) service will be resumed soon.
Although tinyurl.com was a pioneer in URL shortening, it seems to have been overtaken by a host of competing services. For example I tend to use bit.ly most of the time. However I still rather like the tinyurl.com option to create your own bespoke shortened URLs.
This feature rather came into its own recently when I was looking for a concise way to share my recent trilogy focusing on the use of historical data to justify BI/DW investments in Insurance. There is something satisfying in thinking that the following will persist as long as tinyurl.com does:
• | http://tinyurl.com/bi-insurance-part-1 |
• | http://tinyurl.com/bi-insurance-part-2 |
• | http://tinyurl.com/bi-insurance-part-3 |
It is nice to make a [semi-] permanent mark from time to time!
You can do this with bit.ly too, as long as you’re signed in.
So you can – never knew that :-)
