There are dozens of services that let you shorten long URLs so it's easier to copy and paste them into emails, instant messages, or micro-blogging services like Twitter. TinyPaste does the same thing but with chunks of text.

Here's how it works. Say you want to write a short book explaining in explicit detail everything you've done today. And you want to share it with all of your Twitter followers. Unfortunately Twitter has a 140 character limit. What do you do? You cheat by writing your diatribe into a TinyPaste text box and clicking submit. What you get is a short URL that you can paste into Twitter. Anyone who clicks will see the full text of your unreasonably long narrative.

TinyPaste also integrates with Twitter just as TinyURL does.
