Review is NOT "Bitly", my apologies..***.rather a superb collection of FREE-WARE rounded-up by Gizmo***. (In shortening the URL, bitly came-up. I'm looking into how to test a URL prior to publishing, what to do with extraordinarily long urls, and how to edit/addendum after publication. Anyone has some answers/insights, let me know
Ron: ron.kolman@gmail.com. Thanks!) ACTUAL LINK. http://bit.ly/pNkYLK

This is all great stuff, and in one place. Do consider taking a long look at offerings via Gizmo's Newsletter. See if you can't grab some "Bread&Butter" software absolutely free. Don't forget basic tools like TinEye and Free-OCR while you're shopping.

"Online applications (also known as web applications or web-ware) are getting more popular, particularly when broadband Internet access has become more common and readily available to more users. With online applications and services, you do not need to download and install them into your computer for using them—you just need to open up a browser and access them online.

Not only that you can save hard-disk space as they do not need to be installed, but also you can work with files that are saved online from any computer anywhere, without the need to carry a storage device even a USB stick around with you.

Besides, you don't have to worry about different operating systems as these applications and services are cross-platform, running in your browser as a client. Neither do you need to keep updating your software versions, as you will get any new software updates and bug fixes automatically whenever you access them.

Hope you like.
Ron

I get tons of unsolicited spam from this website - when I tried going to the website initially to see who it was, they redirected me to another website. BEWARE - USE at your own risk!

I am very upset, because it hacked into my email and sent it's website to all my email addresses on my account without my knowledge. I do not trust this website nor it's product it's saling. To violate my privacy and send sex pill products to my families email address. I feel violated. Perhaps an attorney would know best what to do with the creaters of this site.

When character spacing is an issue, like on a post, or on twitter, i use bit.ly to shorten the url. It gives you a really short URL and all you do is put in the long url you are shortening. Easy to use. Great service.

T N. i love bit.ly more than the other URL shorteners. i only wish it would copy the URL immediately so i don't have to do the whole copy / paste bit.

This is some spam website. Many emails are being sent from hotmail accounts with this web address attached that are against the owner of the accounts will. Peoples accounts have been hacked sending messages to all their contacts with this link in. TOTAL ********

T N. well bit.ly is just a shortener that can facilitate the work of spammers and conmen - the website itself isn't a spam website. whenever you see a bit.ly or any other shortened address (is.gd is another), just mouse over the hyperlink and it should tell you the full address of the website it wants to take you to...
