But if you do a bit of surfing, you can stumble on a few that offer handy Internet services — at no cost. Here are five of my current faves.
Have you ever wanted to email someone a link to a Web page but the URL was so long that when the recipient clicked on it, an error message came up? This probably results from the fact that many email programs don't retain the full URL address when it cuts to a second or third line.
Next time you want to email someone a super long Web address, instead, go to www.tinyurl.com, which turns a long URL into a tiny one.
