There are many URL snipping or shortening services. They allow you to create a short URL from an ugly and long URL. The short URL created is ‘short’ but does not make any sense or meaning to facilitate in remembering the same.
While we do have services like Decent URL, that makes URL look decent. However, the reusltant URL is long with little meaning. MeaningfulURL is one service that can generate short as well as meaningful URLs.
For example: Original URL:http://www.tothepc.com/archives/make-ugly-url-look-decent-and-meaningful/
MeaningfulURL: http://enter.to/ugly
To generate meaningful URL, you need to select Primary URLamong lot of cool options like: enter.to, invite.to, goodluck.to and many more. After selecting the primary URL (like: enter.to), you need to enter a unique tag that makes meaning to you (like: ugly) and you will get final Meaningful URL like: http://enter.to/ugly
One drawback of this service -  unlike TinyURL service, resultant meaningful URL is only valid for 3 days from the date of creation.ÂÂ
Meaningful URL: Generate Meaningful URL – Premium URLÂÂ
