URL bookmarklets

My Bookmarklet web page

My favorite bookmarklets

Bookmarklets that reduce a long URL to short one (e.g. a twitter post)

For example:

"Anyone have a list of sites that shorten URL's? Here are some: lilurl.com, tinyurl.com, xrl.in, www.tiny.cc, urlthat.com, snipurl.com", twitter.com/erich13/statuses/807738330.

These type of bookmarklets are so popular that some have created Add-Ons for shortening URLs (e.g. TinyUrl Creator 1.0.4, is.gd Creator)

Web colors are not like the mattress tags you can’t remove. If it’s less than readable, I zap the colors with this bookmarklet. Just stick it up in your toolbar, use as needed.
