Duration: URL's will be assessable as long as this site is online.

Terms: Be good! I do reserve the right to remove garbage entries.

Privacy: I have no plans to post the urls submitted.

Example: http://planetlotus.org/forum/index.php/board,20.0.html to http://planetlotus.org/t/210

How do I use tinyPL to minimize a URL?  I don't see a link anywhere that looks like it will do that.  The only place I see it is above the Search box, and I'm not sure what tinyPL has to do with searching.

Good question. Just take a long url and paste it into the search box and hit go. The submit will recognize that it is a url and will then branch to a page displaying the shortened url.

ipoint.to is a utility that allows users to shorten a long URL and share it.  ipoint.to makes it easier to include the link in an email, blog or social network site without taking up too much space.
