Better still, an intermediate length url that might even be able to be
remembered can now be generated by tinyurl.
Thus -

        http://tinyurl.com/SensironHumiditySensors

It's a genuine link. In the past tinyurl would not allow duplicate
shortcodes of the same page. With the choose your own url mode they
allow duplicates.

I try not to use usefully obvious codes for pages which are liable to
be of limited value longer term. That allows such codes to be used for
more useful purposes. For photos pages that will only have short term
use I eg add something like "zzz" at the front.

Sometimes the saving in length is not the main point.
eg, for a saving of one character :-)

            http://tinyurl.com/RussellsPhotos

Whether that is long term useful is a personal decision :-).
