Freeware URL shortening for Windows Mobile: ceSnipURL

Need to send a lengthy URL from a Windows Mobile device? With web addresses getting so long and cumbersome to work with, that simple act can be quite a challenge. From the sender's side, you have to ensure you've highlighted the whole enchilada before copying it and then hope the recipient doesn't mind receiving a ginormous URL. Plus, you'll run into character limitations if you're sending via SMS.

ceSnipURL looks like a simple, one-screen solution for your handheld. The freeware application takes a URL, shortens it and then copies it to your device clipboard for easy pasting into e-mail, SMS, Twitter or any other similar app. Simple, but effective.

If you like this kind of thing you should investigate Dale Lane's TinyURL extension for Internet Explorer Mobile (PIE).

It is available at http://dalelane.co.uk/page.php?id=41

This takes the concept one step further and provides a new menu option within the browser which automatically shortens the URL for the page you are currently browsing.
