I sometimes run the following routine (usually from Script Menu) to copy Safari's current URL as a tiny URL. The converted form can then be pasted as required.

Unlike TinyURL, this service warns you about your destination and gives you a chance to abort:


<http://shorterlink.com/>

TinyURL is a bit dangerous - ISTR I got flamed on this list by Gnarlie for sending whole scripts using the applescript:// protocol:

<http://shorterlink.com/?R36Z17>

And there was also my TinyRoulette game:

<http://www.tristimulus.co.uk/tinyroulette.html>

Drag that url to your Safari bookmark bar and keep clicking...
