Welcome to TinyURL!&
Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.
Enter a long URL to make tiny:
Custom alias (optional):
May contain letters, numbers, and dashes.
An example
Turn this URL:
/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Globally/dp/B003FSUDM4/ref=amb_link_?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIK
X0DER&pf_rd_s=center-10&pf_rd_r=11EYKTN682A79T370AM3&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=&pf_rd_i=B002Y27P3M
into this TinyURL:
Which one would you rather cut and paste into your browser? That's the power of TinyURL!
Add TinyURL to your browser's toolbar
Click and drag the following link to your links toolbar.
Once this is on your toolbar, you'll be able to make a TinyURL at the click of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a TinyURL will be created for the page you are currently at.
This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your bookmarks instead of the links toolbar.
Can't drag and drop? For some users, such as some recent IE 6 installations, the clicking and dragging of links that contain javascript is no longer supported.
To add this to your IE
links toolbar,
click the link with your
right mouse button and select "Add to Favorites..." from the menu. Click OK if a security warning alert pops-up (this shows up since the link contains javscript). If a list of folders is not shown, click the "Create&in&>>>" button (see image at right). Now select the folder called "Links" and then click OK. You should now see the TinyURL on your links toolbar, if not, see the last paragraph above.
Redirection to any page in your site!
With TinyURL, you can also make a smaller URL that will work for any page on your site. Let's say that you have a website with the homepage that is at: http://www.my-/~myusername
Entering that URL into TinyURL will create a URL like /3
With this you can then redirect someone to anywhere within your site by appending a slash and the pages filename to it. So if you have a page at http://www.my-/~myusername/my-links-page.html, you can use the URL /3/my-links-page.html and going to this URL will forward the visitor to the page in your website.
Hide your affiliate URLs
Are you posting something that you don't want people to know what the URL is because it might give
away that it's an affiliate link? Then you can enter a URL into TinyURL, and your affiliate link will be hidden from the visitor, only
address and the ending address will be visible to your visitors.

An Email Program for Sending SMTP Mail from a Command Line
About SendEmail SendEmail is a lightweight,
command line SMTP email client. If you have the need to send email from a command line, this free program is perfect: simple to use and feature rich. It was designed to be used in bash scripts, batch files, Perl programs and web sites, but is quite adaptable and will likely meet your requirements. SendEmail is written in Perl and is unique in that it requires NO MODULES. It has an intuitive and flexible set of command-line options, making it very easy to learn and use. SendEmail is licensed under the GNU GPL, either version 2 of the License or (at your option) any later version. [Supported Platforms: Linux, BSD, OS X, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, & Windows XP]
Official Release:
&&& (29kb Sep 29th, 2009)&&&
Windows Download: Free sendEmail.exe for Windows. To use simply run sendEmail.exe from a console / command line.
&&&(677kb Sep 29th, 2009)&&&No TLS support
&&&(1.4mb Sep 29th, 2009)&&&TLS supported
RPM Package:
Command Line Options SendEmail has the following command line options:
How do I install it? Simply download, extract, and run &sendEmail& from a command prompt, it will give a usage summary. It is written in Perl, so no compilation needed. On a unix system if your perl binary is not installed at /usr/bin/perl you may need to edit the first line of the script. If you're running a Microsoft OS you may need to put a .pl extension on sendEmail so Windows will know to associate it with perl.
TLS Support Starting with sendEmail v1.54, TLS support is included! To enable TLS support simply install the
Net::SSLeay and
IO::Socket::SSL perl modules. The following new command line parameters are now available: &&&&-o tls=auto This is the default, TLS will be used if possible. &&&&-o tls=yes Use this to require TLS for message delivery. &&&&-o tls=no Use this to disable TLS support. If TLS is giving strange errors, try upgrading the Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL perl modules. Please do NOT report TLS bugs unless you have already done this! If you're running up-to-date versions of these modules and you are getting TLS errors, your detailed bug report will be appreciated. Yes, you can finally use SendEmail to send messages to your GMail account :)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I send email through GMail (Google Mail) servers?
A: Just use port 587 and TLS. Example:
sendEmail -o tls=yes -f
-s :587 -xu
-xp YOURPASSWORD -u "Hello from sendEmail" -m "How are you? I'm testing sendEmail from the command line."
Q: I get the error "invalid SSL_version specified at /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 332.??? on my Apple. What do I do?
A: Here's what I got from one user. It's a workaround until I put a real fix in: & Fixed it by using Perl v5.12 that's still on OSX Mavericks. & (just changed sendEmail line 1 from #!/usr/bin/perl -w to #!/usr/bin/perl5.12 -w)
Q: Can I use non-ascii characters, like
&, in an email message body?
A: It's been reported that adding the command-line parameter
-o message-charset=utf-8 solves this issue.
Q: I'm using the Windows version of sendEmail and I can't seem to send a message larger than 16kb.
A: This is a known issue. I believe it's an issue with the ActiveState Perl compiler, and I don't know of a work-around.
Q: I'm using the Windows version of sendEmail, and I get the error message
"the ordinal 2586 could not be located in the dynamic link libraby LIBEAY32.dll", what do I do?
A: I don't know why this happens, but you can fix it by downloading the "No TLS Support" version of sendEmail. You won't be able to send email through an SMTP server that requires encryption, but it won't give you that error message.
Why not use sendmail? Sendmail is a large and complex mail server. Installing this kind of mail software on servers (unless it's a mail server) is more of a security risk than it's worth. Not to mention it can be a real pain messing with configuration files and such. Systems need another simpler way to send email from the command prompt, and sendEmail provides this functionality. Its a simple, direct way to send email without the overhead of other conventional email software.
How can I send anonymous email? SendEmail was not intended to be used for malicious purposes, like sending spam! However, there are often legitimate reasons to send email anonymously. I use the term &anonymous& to mean sending email from an address that isn't normally associated with just you. For example, sendEmail is a great script for emailing company newsletters where you want to send email from an &anonymous& account like . To send &anonymous& email from a CLI with sendEmail, simply specify a from address that you want to use with the -f option, and unless your ISP's SMTP email server is picky, it will accept and deliver it.
