Shorten URLs with Redirectors

Most of us have had the instance of sending a link to someone in an email and the link gets butchered by their email client, making the link unclickable. The only option they have is to cut and paste the parts of the URL into their browser in order to recompile the string and then they can visit the website. But, there is another option and that is a URL redirection service. What these services do is allow you to enter a long URL and then they will generate a shorter URL which you can then send around. Here are a few you can check out:

www.tinyurl.com
www.qURL.net
www.snipurl.com
www.urlcut.com
www.tinylink.com
