The Benefits of Link Shorteners

The Benefits of Link Shorteners Making your links more stylish and readable makes people more comfortable in clicking on them. A long cryptic URL is not inviting. It doesn’t confer any information about where it leads. https://bit.ly/BraddockAlbum says that the subject is “Braddock” and it’s an “Album”. The person looking at the link may not know if Braddock is a person, place or thing but the context of the link or the search can narrow the interpretation.   Likewise the word “Album” could be music or photos.

For example on the ClickaSnap photo sharing platform file names and album names are not exclusive to until user. Actually, a subscriber can use the exact same title on any number of photos.

The audience was notoriously fickle. Even in the middle of a police chase or 5 alarm structure fire the competition could siphon viewership with a more sensational story.  The story was the essential element, one which was supported by the “footage”. Live cameras would catch raw reality and broadcast it as is.  That near fu...

Getting Visibility on the Web

Getting Visibility on the web is important especially when you have something to say or show. In my case it is my photography.  My collections are hosted on ClickaSnap.com at the user name Lens4anEye . I also have a large selection as NFTs on Opensea.com at Itsalltuna . Every opportunity is important because one never knows which platform an interested buyer might go to and find That One photo they really need to have. This QR code links to my Instagram account where a small selection of my works is presented. Followers will be appreciated.  I also have a Twitter account at the name Itsalltuna . Follow me there too. As I said earlier every avenue of visibility makes for a larger audience. Finding the people who appreciate my photographic style is my ultimate goal with all the work put in to it. One on these days I need to give Youtube a try. I don't know about TikTok since it might get banned from the US. There are so many other platforms to use, but so little time to get arou...
