You're right about a few characters making a big difference on Twitter. I'll have to check bit.ly out as well. Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth.

Wait, that doesn't sound right. Anyway, I like bit.ly the best because not only can it do all the things you cited with tinyurl, but you also can post directly to Twitter with it. Plus, bit.lys are shorter by a few characters -- which can make all the diff on Twitter. (Heart) ur blog. I'm down with little URLs. Wait, that doesn't sound right.

One thing I love about tiny url is that it now allows you to create a custom ending - to further identify the link. So if I wanted to create one for a certain blog post, I could customize it to say something like "friscokids3" at the end, instead of a random jumble of letters/numbers Elizabeth -thanks for the post.
