So it will, but some of use are less concerned with the length of
urls than with the click-tracking. Using tinyurl will only make that
problem worse, not better. Much worse, in fact, as you can't see the
tracking code to strip it off. Personally, I won't click on
anonymised links like the tinyurl ones. They can hide a multitude of
sins.<br>
