Why not? It’s long, completely unnecessary, and draws readers away from your well-crafted content. When blogging or sending an email, you insert the content using a hyperlink, which is easy to use and gives the content a cleaner look.

TinyURL comes in handy when the hyperlink option is not available. If you’re using Twitter, Facebook, chatting, leaving comments on a blog, or filling out an online form, it’s not always possible to insert a hyperlink. In some cases, there is a character limit (Twitter only allows 140) and inserting the large URL above already takes up 68 characters. If you still aren’t falling for my reasons, know that it’s very uncool these days to give someone a URL in its purest form. It communicates that you aren’t tech savvy. Even if you aren’t, you should pretend.

What is TinyURL? It makes long URL addresses much shorter. TinyURL turns the above 68 characters into 25 characters or less: http://tinyurl.com/6addbu.

Here is how to use TinyURL:

1. Visit the TinyURL website.
2. Copy the address you want to make tiny and paste it in the TinyURL box.
3. Finally, copy the new address from TinyURL and paste in Twitter, Facebook, etc.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don’t disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it “IN.”

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write “For Sexual Favors.”

7. Finish all your sentences “In accordance with the prophecy.”

8. Don’t use any punctuation.

9. As often possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

11. Specify that your drive-thru order is “to go.”

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their party because you’re not in the mood.

16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.
Bottom.

17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, “I WON, I WON!”

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, “run for your lives! They’re loose!”

19. Tell your children over dinner, “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.” (it’ll at least get the dishes done for you!)

20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity…
