Often share links with others? Want to make sharing links easier? Well here’s three ways you can.
- Shorten them
There are quite a few websites that take long and hard to remember links and create short easy to remember links that re-direct to the same thing. One of the most popular link shortening services is TinyURL.
With TinyURL you can simply paste a long link into the box on the site and click ‘Make TinyURL’ and you’ll be given a short link that takes you to the same place the long one did. You also have the option to customise the short URL so that it’s even easier to remember. Here’s and example tinyurl.com/hardwareprices redirects to our previous blog post.

If you have a number of links that you would like to share with a number of people then you could use a service like LinkBunch. The LinkBunch site allows you to enter in a number of links and then creates a page which: displays all your links, allows viewer to hold their mouse over a link to see a snapshot of the site, and offers an option to open every link on the page at once.
