Basically, tiny means small, and a URL is another name for a website address — a Uniform Resource Locator. Making a URL smaller helps you make better use of character limitations on websites such as Twitter and other social media with limits on message length: the smaller address lets you fit more meaningful text in the message instead of wasting characters on the address itself. Tiny URLs are also easier to post on fashion blogs and forums and to use in email, and a short address can be created with a keyword of your choosing.

What are Tiny URL's? Basically, the word tiny means small. The meaning of a URL is basically another name for a website address. A more formal way to describe a URL is, "A Uniform Resource Locator, colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier, although many people use the two terms interchangeably. URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages, but are also used for file transfer, email, database access, and many other applications."
If you are making a URL (website address) smaller, it will help you make better use of character limitations on websites such as Twitter or other social media websites that have limits to the number of letters or numbers you can include in your messages.
Making the URL's smaller allows you to fit more meaningful text in your message and not waste to many characters on the actual website address you include with the message.
Tiny URLs are easier to post on fashion blogs or fashion forums. You can also use them to make email friendly URLs. Simplify links to your website. Hide an affiliate link (fashion affiliate programs). Create personal or unique addresses using a keyword.

A tiny URL is a shortened web address: a URL shortening service issues a short address that leads to a page whose own address is long, so the link takes fewer characters to share.
