Default tiny url tool suggestion

I noticed while trying to load link in another post that word wrap had
taken the last two characters out of the string and thus I got 404 errors

For those of you that don't know it, if you use the best browser (
Firefox ) and add the Create a Tiny URL extension, you can 'one click' a
tiny url directly into your clipboard from any page with a long url
string( especially those on database driven sites that have lots of
?id=364&nonsense =yes type of gobblygook at the end )


Even if you use IE, the tiny URL is automatically pasted into your
clipboard. Once you get the tinyURL, you only have to control-V and it
pastes it into your message. I don't even sit on the tinyURL site waiting
for the URL to be formed: I go back to the message and hit control-V when
I think its ready.
