URL Shortening Services
There have been a influx of URL shortening services over the past year, and not everyone is aware about each and every service out there, here is a a list of services you can use to shorten those really long URLs to a shorter one.
URL Shortening Services We Recommend
TinyURL – TinyURL is like the GoDaddy for domains, one of the oldest and most popular services to convert long URLs into really tiny ones.
Linkbun.ch – Link Bunch is a unique link shortening which will allow you to bunch several links into a single URL and share it with your friends or family, definitely useful.
NSFW.in – Ever wanted to share a link which is NSFW? NSFW.in provides you with a option to do that, by adding a warning message before opening the actual URL, so that your friends are not embarrassed when they click on a link you send them.
ShortText – ShortText is not exactly a shortening service, but it works in a similar way for shortening the text you want to send to someone. Why text? Have you heard of twitter and the 140 character limit?
DwarfURL – DwarfURL is a URL shortening service which not only shortens your service, but also provides you with the stats on the clicks and where they came from.
is.gd – A URL Shortening Service with the shortest names.

You missed one of the best -
bit.ly
And also would be good if you mention that TinyURL gives an option of having custom URL ends.

Great posts, I routinely use URL shortening in emails, there are also a few PHP scripts that will help you do this using your own URL.
