What is TidyURL?

TidyURL is a great tool that allows you to shorten and rename links. Unlike most link shortners though it also has several other key features that make it incredibly useful.
With TidyURL you can take any URL and shorten it to something that resembles tidyurl.com/example. This leaves links looking neater and less cluttered as well as making them easier to use especially for Twitter where character count is important. Also because you get to name the example part of the url by yourself you can use these links to provide succinct information for yourself and your potential customers. For example if I wanted a link to my website I could use http://tidyurl.com/DDLSite.
Aside from being able to shorten and rename URL links as you please TidyURL also provides a links and menus function which keeps track of all the links you make with it. These links can then be annotated and saved into different groups to allow you to keep track of them and use them again and again.
Another great feature of TidyURL is the ability to choose with the advanced functions how the URL is redirected to the destination site, either through a 301, 307 or cloaked link or through the awesome social bar feature. The social bar feature allows you to change and control what content and or images are pulled from a page when the link is pasted into websites that pull video or images from the page linked to, such as Facebook.
