Snippet Quickly Shorten Links From Address Bar

To cut down on all these steps, all you have to do is type in “bit.ly/” or “j.mp/” before the URL in the address bar. So, for example if the URL is “http://twitter.com” you would type in “bit.ly/http://twitter.com” or “j.mp/http://twitter.com”.

Then hit the Enter key. Depending on whether you used “bit.ly/” or “j.mp/” you will be taken to the respective page from where you can copy the shortened URL.

That’s it! You are now free to share the shortened URL. Snippet is a short tip/trick or just a quick fix for a certain issue that we discover from time to time. Don’t forget to subscribe to our RSS feed for more up to date tutorials/tips/tricks.
