Friend of mine Roy from Bonny Scotland, has come up with a novel idea to help people send big links via the web or for that matter over the telphone its called threesimplewords.net

He thinks its an improvement on TinyURL, (and the like), as it will generate 3 random words that you can easily communicate over the phone or face to face. Beta is at http://threesimplewords.net/ but it only generates one page for testing purposes. So watch this space for more info.

example for http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2006-06-23T061234Z_01_N22135562_RTRUKOC_0_US-SECURITY-TERRORISM-REPORT.xml&src=rss
you need to tell the person
