Short URL for your links

Day by days, users are using various form of services like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Viber, etc… to communicate with others and send/receive messages. Some of these services allow users to type only limited number of characters in single message. Hence, if you would like to a link which has long URL, you will need to shorten your URL in such a way that it still directs users to correct page on Internet.

 You can achieve this by a method call URL shortening, it is a unique way to convert your long URL in to shorter length and still directs user to correct page. For an example, http://goo.gl/1uSLM0 is shorted URL for our blogs’ main page: http://blog.techietalks.co.uk. You can create a separate short link for each of your webpages or blogs.

The main advantage of a short link is that it can be easily communicated and typed without any error.

Users don’t need to change their current configuration or possess in-depth technical knowledge. There are various sites who offer users to shorten their URL online. Some of them are:

Google URL Shortner - https://goo.gl/  
Bitly URL Shortner – https://bitly.com/
TinyURL – tinyurl.com/
Hotsuite – ow.ly/   
Twitter – t.co/

    Great article. So what you are saying is that you can create shorter links of short links by using the short link services? Short-link-ception?

    So eventually after years of work, I could end up with a 1 letter short link?

    I would like to reserve C and S please, if that's ok.

    Please send the forms to my house in Amsterdam so I can book this asap.

Fixed: HTC One M8 USB driver doesn’t recognized by Windows 10

Hi friends, recently I upgraded my Windows 7 OS to Windows 10 on my laptop. Everything was working fine until I plugged my HTC One M8 (Android) phone to laptop using USB cable. A message box appeared stating that it could not detect the USB device. I never had any problem when I was using Windows 7. I used to plug my phone to PC using USB cable and access phone storage as USB drive. I typed my query in google and most of the articles suggested that I should installed HTC Sync Manager and then connect my phone. Well, I installed the required application but it did not resolve the issue. Hence, I removed it. This is my 3 rd HTC phone and I started to find out how I can enable USB debugging mode on my phone. This option is hidden by default. To enable this option, follow these steps:  Go to Settings \ About Select Software Information Click on More  option Now, tap on Build number  option six times in a row. A message will be shown saying “ You are now a de...
