Tiny URLs

You may recall from the seminar or you may have noticed on this page, we are taking very long links (URL addresses) and using a special website to shorten the link so that it will fit on one line without spilling over to the next. This is an especially helpful tool when you are trying to send long links in an email.
Where do you go to use this tool? Just visit http://www.tinyurl.com. Paste in the long URL address and then allow the website to access your clipboard. It will then copy the smaller URL onto your computer's clipboard and you can then paste it wherever you want!

Windows Search

On the left, under Software Links, we listed the new Windows Search Engine - Bing! Please remember that it doesn't go live until Wednesday, June 3, 2009!
