Just after 4 days of publishing the post - 3 Apps To Make Things ‘ Tiny ‘ For You , we find that the immensely useful TinyURL has added another feature to add more flavour to its url shortening service.
Spotted by Louis Gray, this new option lets you choose the shortened sub-url format and you can shorten any long url to a format such as www.tinyurl.com/cool or www.tinyurl.com/jeet as opposed to the previous auto-generated formats like www.tinyurl.com/4xy7de or something like that.
I think it’s a nice move which will make this url shortening service more useful.

Just a word of caution: I hate TinyUrl because you have no idea where they are leading you to. You can’t trust them. If I click on a link, I want to know where I am going!
http://decenturl.com/ is a lot better because it tells you what domain you are going to.
thats useful that you can put custom filename

ahem! Tiny URL have the option to preview where the url points to before it takes you there!
tiny URL ROCKS!
