The new URL is automatically copied to your clipboard. --Paul Hi Larry,

I've been using http://moourl.com for a while now as they've been offering the choice to personalize the url. I think that's a great feature so that the address has some meaning to it. I'm glad to see that some other url shorteners have picked up that feature as well. Lisa Great list – thanks Larry.

When communicating by email with my parents during the last school year, I realized that the links were denied by the School District's filters and some internet providers. I also had to provide a link using the link tool from my email client. Pierre I really like this one:
