Simpl.es is a site that allows you to create short URLs that never expire. Once you create this short link you can use it for e-mail, Twitter or anything you want. This service is free to use and is especially useful if you have long URLs.
Let me give you an example:
- This is a long URL I have that I want to be shorter when I send the link to people-
- This is what it looks like after I use Simpl.es-
As you can see sending the second link to people would be a lot better than sending the first. Also, once you are done you can send this link to Twitter directly from the Simpl.es website. All you have to do is enter in your Twitter username, password and what you are doing.
What do you think about this service?

I agree with Chris, this tool is great. Maybe I can convince others to use it, because I Hate it when people send me links that are a mile long
@Chris and Gil
I am glad you guys have enjoyed the tool. I too have used it a lot so far today. Especially when I am IMing people.
Great tool. I’m enjoying it greatly. In instant messaging it sure comes in handy!
