In case I haven't posted on this site:
Have you ever seen an internet URL addres that was horribly long? Like this:
http://www.happynews.com/news/142006/missouri-researchers-find-largest-prime-number.htm
Nasty.
The problem with really long URL addresses is that they sometimes get "chopped off" or separated, especially when you paste them into an email. Then the person you send it to only gets part of the URL and they wonder why they can't get to your page.
By going to tinyurl and pasting in that huge URL above, the site generated this short URL instead:
http://tinyurl.com/cksgn
Go to both URLs and they should lead to the same place.
