Funny TinyURLs
TinyURL.com is a great way to turn your
ginormous URLs, like
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&mqma
p.x=300&mqmap.y=75&mapdata=%252bKZmeiIh6N%252bI
gpXRP3bylMaN0O4z8OOUkZWYe7NRH6ldDN96YFTIUmSH3Q6

252bT9Su5KoQ9YpNSj%252bmo0h0aEK%252bofj3f6vCP
Into nice, little, manageable URLs, like
http://tinyurl.com/6
The TinyURL that I (just now) generated for this page is
http://tinyurl.com/667cl.
Each time the site creates a new Tiny URL, it assigns it a (probably) random
string of 1-5 characters, which may, at some points, come out as a string that
actually means something. I, with the help of a few friends, have compiled a list
of those particular ones where the string may have some interesting connection to
the site that it links to!

Find some more and send them in to me! Just go to your browser's address bar and
type in "tinyurl.com/" then some (probably 3-5 letter) word, and see what comes up.
If it's a good one, send it in to
lebrun.a@neu.edu. Or, of course, you could just
send it over AIM to BaruMonkey.
If you want, go ahead and use this form to use the site
the way it was intended, but we all know that's just boring.
