How does 'tinyurl' work, then, to compress such a monster into 4 letters?
Not sure how it actually function. Probably took such a url into its database and give the refered 'new' address. When you ask for that specific URL, it calls it up and then present the site.
There are many others out there but tinyurl.com is much shorter heh.
