### Comment 2

TinyURL shortens URLs so you have more room in Twitter posts, for example.  It's also great for disguising a descriptive URL, so hopefully, more people will click on it to see what it's all about.

I use it for HTML and CSS purposes to save on space. As well as on campaigns in Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads again to save on space and avoid large and long line items (which are hard to decipher and organize in case of a needed change or to rectify a mistake) plus it looks much cleaner using tinyURL.
