Shortless : Shorten Long Links

Are you tired of sending long URLs in emails only to have them break, causing the recipient to put them back together? Shortless is a link shortening service to help you with that. Whether it’s an eBay auction or Amazon product review, you can quickly shorten it to a smaller link with a desired keyword (hint) in it. The idea behind the service isn’t new and can be dated back to established sites like TinyURL.

Shortless - Shorten Long Links

So how it works?

Simply enter the long URL into the povided field, optionally add a hint tag, hit enter, and voila, you have a much shorter link. The link won’t expire and will remain online for as long as the service itself. You can share it via Instant Messaging, post it in the emails, Twitter and so on. To make the whole process easier Shortless also offers a Firefox bookmarklet.
