Call For Help: Why would someone want to hide the address that a link points to?
Answer: Some web addresses are so long that they can become broken due to word wrap and formatting. Shortcuts can simplify a cut and paste for those who want to share a link over email, forums, or twitter.
Suggested URL shortening services on the web include:
TinyURL - Shorten that long URL into a tiny URL
is.gd - Compress That Address
SnipURL - Short URL goodness since 2001
j.mp - Shorten, share and track your links
