When trying to include a long link or URL (web address) in an email, often times the amount of letters will exceed the line and the link will sometimes not work for the recipient.

For example:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=greenwood+chamber+of+commerce,+
greenwood,+sc&ie=UTF8&ll=34.194588,-82.16074&spn=0.008271,0.014462&z=16&iwloc=A&om=0

The above link can be replaced with a simple link like this:
http://tinyurl.com/27o2h7

This is a free service at www.tinyurl.com you can use each time you want to create a new short link! Just copy and paste your long link into tinyurl.com and it will generate the new.
