OT.  How does one make the tiny URL links?

I use this great little Services app:

<http://www.riverdark.net/board/index.php?showtopic=344>

It puts the following services in your Services menu:

Shrink URL
Shrink URL and Copy
Shrink URL to Clipboard.

In any Services-aware app (which is pretty much all), select the URL, then select one of the three from the Services menu. It works as advertised. I use it ALL the time.

Also, tinyurl.com and socuteurl.com, the two I use, offer links that you can drag into your browsers toolbar (they work with Safari and Firefox). When you are on a page and you want to shorten the url, just click the link and it will provide you with the shortened (or cutened) url that you can copy and paste.

Please not that socuteurl is not for the diabetic or irony impaired.
