This seems like the perfect opportunity to extoll the virtues of a web site I found recently:
http://www.tinyurl.com
It's a free site that takes long urls and provides a permanent redirect based on a much shorter url. You just paste the long url into the form, hit submit, and out pops the short alternative. So, for example, the picture linked below can now also be reached at:
http://tinyurl.com/6hog5
It's one of those things that in retrospect seems so obvious.
There's also snipurl.com
They do the same thing, but allow you to choose a meaningful short url to use - much nicer, imho.
But please, do also put the real url into any email, so that if those services disappear sometime in the future, the archive still allows readers to reach the site you want.
