How to create a short URL

URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a uniform resource locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using an redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL. For example, the URL "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening" can be shortened to "http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki". This is especially convenient for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters that may be used in a message, such as Twitter and Identi.ca. In November 2009, the shortened links of the URL shortening service Bitly were accessed 2.1 billion times

Google's free blogging platform, Blogger, offers an easy way for businesses to keep clients updated on services and products they offer or produce.
