Move over tinyurl, now there’s something even more teeny-weeny.
What is it?
is.gd is a service that shortens URLs. Short URLs come in handy when you have a super-long URL and you want to include them in documents or email, like a complex and deep-rooted SharePoint link. Short URLs also come in handy when posting on micro-sharing sites like twitter where you’re limited to 140 characters per post.
How does it work?
Simply type (or copy/paste from your browser’s address bar) the URL which you’d like to make smaller into the text box on the main page. Push the “Compress That Address!” button, and is.gd will make the address smaller for you, and give you a new link. You can then copy this new URL wherever you’d like to use it.
Best practices (taken from http://is.gd/description.php)
Here are a few…
- Shorten web addresses for emails, forum posts, blogs etc. which cannot handle long URLs and might wrap them, making them unclickable
- Lower the character count when texting web addresses to a mobile phone
- Hide the real URLs of affiliate links from visitors to your site
- Obscure your real email address from bots which harvest them to spam (enter an address like mailto:myaddress@myisp.com)
- Circumvent protections on sites which don’t allow direct links to a competitor’s site (if you are violating a site’s terms you do so at your own risk)
- Clean up bookmarks for social bookmarking sites or sites with low character limits like Twitter
- If you dislike a website and have to mention it (e.g. when complaining about it), link via is.gd so that your link does not help the site’s search engine positioning

It is also important to make sure that it is easy to apply.
If you are applying the tan before going to bed, then ensure that it has dried out completely.
This specific fake bake airbrush tanning solution can be chosen in several beauty or perhaps aesthetic outlets with a price
really worth your full satisfaction with the solution. Depending on how much you perspire and how frequently you hit the pool or the shower,
your sunless spray tan can fade away in as much as three days.
An profit involved with self turning into brownish in an all-natural way is that it is
likely not acquiring explore and in any kind of
temperature. You can however avoid this side effect of fake tan by exfoliating skin before you use dihydroxyacetone.
Loose clothing won’t rub away color before
it sets. Exfoliating in advance will mean that your skin will be as smooth as possible when you tan, meaning that the finish will be
far more flawless and will easily avoid the obviously fake
look: after all, the last thing you want when on the beach is to
look like a first coat. You can get the look you want without the traditional means of doing so.
First, avoid bathing, showering, swimming or perspiring in the hours immediately after getting
a spray tan.
