TinyURL and YouSendIt

TinyURL is not an application that I had personnally used. I have seen it on websites, including city and county webpages. The big advantage of TinyURL is that the webmaster can maintain an organized structure for the website AND the user can work with a simple URL name.

YouSendIt is great for sharing a large file. Some files with graphics become very large, or a person may create and share a compressed (zip) file. I am waiting for the tool that enables sending a folder (i.e, bypassing the zip step). YouSendIt avoids issues with files too big to deliver to some email boxes. And it does not require a licensed FTP program and a website where you can post files for download -- YouSentIt is doing all that for the user.

Both of these are convenient utilities for fun and for business.
