In the past we have explored a StumbleUpon tool called Su.pr; with it it becomes very simple to shorten links all with the click of a button and no more separate windows. Tools that shorten links don’t just benefit the users of Twitter and Facebook as they can also make it easier for you the reader to share long URLs with family, without using a long URL.

Link shorteners allow for quick and easy access to a URL in a place where there is a character limit. For example Twitter has a character limit of 140 characters per Tweet. When promoting a product or a web page the extra characters saved could make the difference between a great advertisement and one that is not appealing.

When compared to other link shorteners StumbleUpon attempts to take a multiple step process and convert it all into one single step. This can save any website owner time. As the old saying goes “time is money”. Not only is this convenient for the person promoting an article but it also prevents excessive link form crowding each followers Twitter page.

In a world where short and simple leads to sharing ideas in an efficient way; the most complex things can be seen in a new way. This new way may give an old or complex idea a new chance at being successful. It may even lead to a new audience which missed an item or article when it was first released.
