Most people probably know about this already - I have already explained my techno phobe history - and I admit this is nothing to do with e-learning but it is VERY useful for social networking and marketing using hyper links. I have just started using Twitter and LinkedIn (I know, I know!!) but found that I was using my full character count up with a useful web address therefore making it very difficult for anyone to understand why I found the web page in question so interesting! A clever Techie at work showed me how to use http://tinyurl.com/. All you do is copy the full link into the field and click on 'make tiny'. Once you have your tiny version you can use it as you would any hyper link and you'll have enough characters left over to make your point. GENIUS! There are a number of these sites available so why not go and explore (searching under small URL) to find the one you like best. You're welcome!
