Greetings,
George asked me to post this to opug. It's a way to create a shorter,
forwarding URL from a longer, complicated one. The web page that
allows you to do this is: http://tinyurl.com/
For example, the location of the last opug meeting as a yahoo maps URL is:
http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?addr=530+Lake+Park+Ave&csz=oakland%2C+ca&country=us&new=1&name=&qty=
At tinyurl.com, we can make a much shorter URL that will forward to
the longer one:
http://tinyurl.com/bwgs7
This is handy in that you can make these short "alias" URL's and then
reference them in email.
David
