When TinyURL fails, as it does more and more, try Metamark. Works great!
The only time it hasn't worked is on Facebook. They won't allow any URL's with an "X". How messed up is that? I've emailed them, but they never responded. WTF!?
Metamark provides a shortcut you can drag to your toolbar, or bookmarks. When your on a site that you would like to shorten the URL, simply click on the shortcut.

Hi CT! Glad you found the service valuable (and reliable!)
Yes, it is annoying that facebook decided to block the Metamark URLs, but then they rarely have length restrictions and links generally work ok there I think, so it's not really needed. Just use the real URL on Facebook! (Or really anywhere it'll work).
- ask
Thanks Bjørn. We agree that it's annoying. Yet Facebook continues to block it. I fail to see the logic in their decision to do so. ;^)
