894 - URL's

Of course we all know what URL's are, right? Uniform Resource Locator's. Of course you do, what was I even thinking? But just in case, it's that really long http://www.abcdefg.hijklmno.pqr/tuvwxyz. Well I was reading something about 'tinyurl' the other day. You've seen it as http://www.tinyurl.com/abcdef. It saves somebody from having to post a 128 character URL to get you to a page they want you to look at. Tinyurl.com is free. It's run by some guy in Minnesota. I think he makes money off the advertising which isn't much which you can see at the site's home page.

But that lead me to an article about many other free sites that do the same thing. Here's the ARTICLE.

And the article will lead to a spoof site too. Giganticurl.com.

All I can think is tomorrow is my birthday and even with all this peculiar information distracting you, my birthday will still penetrate your consciousness, because you are just that sweet of a guy (Big Sigh).
