Pros I liked that I had the ability to shorten URL's as I needed. Shortening them is easy. Cons 1\. Getting your domain into your account is a pain in the...2. Their billing practices are a reflection of how the actually feel about their customers. For over a year, I have paid monthly at $12.99/month. Recently my credit card expired, and I updated it. The moment I updated it, TinyURL charged me for an entire YEAR at once at $119.88 instead of $12.99. At first it wasn't a huge deal, I figured they would just correct it and refund the additional 11 months. NOPE! Not even close. First, there is NO NUMBER to reach them. The number on my credit card is a Google Voice number that is no longer in service. Google Voice??? Really. That's the same service the scammers trying to sell me a warranty on a car I sold 12 years ago use. So it forces you to go into your account and submit a ticket. I submitted the ticket over 2 months ago. TWO MONTHS AGO! I have responded to that same ticket 3 times and they have never responded. NOT ONCE. You can get a real idea of how good or bad a company is the moment there is an issue that needs resolution. If you use these clowns just pray nothing ever goes wrong that affects your business because they will completely ignore you.

Although I am using it in many different situations, I think its impact is most felt in my emails because clients can get a clean, organized email rather than emails full of very long links that might also activate the spam filter.
