Shrinker For iPhone Wants Your URLs

July 12th, 2010 § 3 comments


One of my latest iPhone application lets you shrink your URLs to something a little more manageable. Aptly named, Shrinker for iPhone lets you type in a long URL, then with a tap shorten it using TinyURL.com (Bit.ly and other shortening services will be coming soon). You can copy the link to the iPhone clipboard or email the link right from within the application.

From the iTunes App Store:
Long URLs can confuse people. Whether you’re sending a link through email, instant messaging, text messaging, or simply copying it for later use, make Shrinker an application on your iPhone. Shrinker lets you take a long URL and shrink it down to something a little more manageable. Right from the application you can shorten your links, create an email to someone with the link pasted right in, or copy the link to the clipboard for later use.

Where to get it
Download Shrinker today for free from the iTunes App Store (the application is iAd supported) and never leave any of your email readers confused by long links.

    New Mac User! Help! I just finished your article about 20 tips to become iphoto power user…. great stuff, but I’m still stuck with one question. How in the world do I upload my photos to an outside source so I can order prints? Places such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc….

    Thanks for your time, Elizabeth

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Unfortunately, you won’t be able to order photos from 3rd parties from within iPhoto. Most of the 3rd party photo printers, however, require you to use their website anyway. To do this, you can drag the photos from iPhoto to a new folder on your Desktop (say “Temp Pics”). Then, when you use the 3rd party photo website, you will be able to browse for the photos on your Desktop to upload them. When you’re done uploading the pictures, you can delete the new folder from your Desktop and the photos will still remain in iPhoto. It’s not an elegant solution, but it works.

    Glad you liked the article on Mac|Life! Thanks for reading.
