In which I explain how to create a handy bookmarklet
I love TinyURL! and have been using it for years and years.

The actual bookmarklet JavaScript string is:
javascript:void(open('http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)))

Doesn’t work anymore.
TINYURL has banned this method.
