It's served me well for years.</p> <p><strong>TIP</strong> - At first, I created a TINYURLnotepad to store all the addresses with shortcuts, but found it even easier to just add the tiny shortcut itself to a shortcut's name field. E.G., in my directory, if the tinyurl link to a favorite fractal site with a long address was <code>tinyurl/s2dij</code>, then I would append the cryptic alphanumeric to the name field in my directory:</p> <p>FractalsRUS s2dij</p> <p>so I'd always know that I created a tinyurl for it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3076#post-26604 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:56:14 +0000 LeKanaw 26604@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>M$ going after GG<br /> Launches "Live Search News" in Rome</p> <p><a href="http://www.cnet.com/8301-13515_1-9919801-26.html?tag=rsspr.6237499%E2%88%82=rss&#38;subj=news" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnet.com/8301-13515_1-9919801-26.html?tag=rsspr.6237499%E2%88%82=rss&#38;subj=news</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3076#post-26603 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:53:13 +0000 LeKanaw 26603@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>HaaaHaaa ...

Very interesting news to me. I do agree with one of the reviews that Yahoo is kind of 'didn't care' for free users and not much improvement after so many yrs. But Microsoft is kind of 'disappointing' too. Look at their latest vista softwares? Without 'assuring' sold it out and cos alots of user 'suffer' (I heard too much 'complaints' from vista user). And what rights Microsoft have to 'force' Yahoo to sell if they are not willing? "He" should know better cos he work so hard to build up his Microsoft empire slowly too. How will he feel if others want to 'buy' his co. over. :( I do hope to hear more of it from other members here if possible. Have a great day everyone :). </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3076#post-25477 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:28:54 +0000 Jaddis 25477@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>As some of you know, Microsoft has been trying to buyout Yahoo! over the last several months.
