This website provides a way to turn long, scary URLs into little, manageable urls.
Simply by using the Link Minimizer, you can input a very long URL such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B0000E6XH3/sr=8-1/qid=1241384270/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=5174&s=music&qid=1241384270&sr=8-1
And turn it into a mini url like this:
