Ever noticed that you can create TinyURL custom aliases from their main form (on homepage) for the service? Actually, I guess I should ask first if you know what TinyURL is. Haha. Here is the description on their site header. Pretty simple..

Making long URLs usable! More than 240 million of them. Over 2 billion hits/month.

Check this link: http://tinyurl.com/fatskis, which redirects to my Squidoo lens for “Fat Skis” (I just snagged the “fatskis” alias from TinyURL, a long with about 60 other aliases over the past week or so. Not sure why but going on the notion that keywords in URLs you control hold at least some value). At any rate </end> geek web marketer post ;) …just thought it was cool.
