All I had to do is to click in the "Translate" button and the URL was updated.
The instant translation doesn't update the URL.
The URL format is:
http://translate.google.com/#origin_language_or_auto|destination_language|encoded_phrase
or
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=destination_language&text=encoded_phrase
If you want ...

You've got the following options only at this stage:
*Purple* _Monkey_ -Dishwasher-
The above will render as this:

Like Stack Exchange, Trello allows MarkDown in card descriptions, so you can put links into them using this type of syntax:
Click [here](http://www.whatever.com) to go to the page.
Which will give

The easiest method I've found is to simply open the document and copy the URL in your browser's address bar. That URL is a permalink to the files on your account. This is a good method because you can share the link but only the people you have shared the document with will be allowed to view the file (anyone not on the list will get an access denied ...

To clarify, Trello allows MarkDown in the description field of a card. You can use a markdown formatted link ([Google](http://www.google.com)), or you can just type put a URL (like http://www.google.com) and it will be converted to a link
Card comments don't allow markdown, but they can also contain URLs, which will be converted to links. Some URLs (like ...

The actual link location is located directly below the link description. You could copy and paste it from there.
I assume the added stuff is so that Google can log when others are accessing that site link.
If the problem is the link length, you could try using a URL shortening service.
There's a Greasemonkey Script that will disable what you're talking ...

At the top of the post there will be a timestamp between the name of the Google+ user and sharing range.
Click on that and you'll get a page for that post alone.
That link is what you can share with other users not on Google+.

As you might expect, there are multiple ways of doing this. There's using the timestamp to get the permalink (as detailed by Eight Days of Malaise), then there's this:
The down-pointing arrow in the upper right of any post offers a menu (see below).
"Link to this post" is the direct link to the post.

It would appear that you cannot create a clickable link in a list item. However, you can create a clickable link in the Description area (back of card) by simply putting in a well formed URL, such as http://google.com And you could create a list of such links using Markdown syntax. Start each line with either an asterisk or a number followed by a period.

This is not possible right now, but it's something we're considering for the future. There are serious design challenges around doing this. Consider that users and labels might differ between the two boards. Visibility might even differ. It's not a small feature and we'd have to carefully consider the value added vs. other features we could add.

The link generated for a file is something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/_someRandomStrings_/_theNameOfTheFile
If you replace www with dl it will take you directly to the respective file. Alternatively, adding ?dl=1 at the end of the link above, will redirect it to the dl.dropbox.com URL.
Now, if you have the link to a folder and you add ?dl=1 at ...

There is no way to get a link or to share an email or thread with another person using just Gmail. Gmail gives you a unique URL in the address bar for each message thread but that URL is only accessible after you have logged in to your account, so another user would not be able to access the link.
Gmail Labs has a Create a Document feature but the document ...

You might want to try Delicious. They do have a firefox plugin that allows you to sync automatically between the website and your browser if you wish. And you can save your bookmarks in delicious rather than the browser bookmarks if you prefer. They have tools for importing/exporting bookmarks from your browser when you first set up. Plus you have the added ...

JavaScript is not allowed on wordpress.com blogs due to security reasons. This means that the following will not work (among others): <script> tags; javascript: links; and events such as onclick.
In fact, that's the reason I switched from wordpress.com to blogger.com. Your only Wordpress option is to either host it yourself, or find some hosting ...

Here is a quite easy way, suggested by stormenet's observation, without extra scripts or changing browsers or search engines:
Right-click some empty space away from the link. Move your mouse pointer (with right button still depressed) over the link. Release and select 'Copy link location/shortcut'.
It only works before the mouse-down event, so you will ...

This being a QR code doesn't make it any different to any other URL you might want to track.
Create a page on your own website that does a redirect to the other site, and and make a QR code to the URL on your website.
So people click the QR, go to your site, and end up at the target site. Then you can measure the hits to the URL. Use a meta-refresh ...

It's official. This cannot be done.
Like the other types of data and cell formatting, links in spreadsheets must be assigned to an entire cell, you cannot have just part of the text inside a cell be hyperlinked.

The important thing is the domain of the link. When you hover on that link, if the URL that shows up (usually at the bottom left of the browser window) starts with http://facebook.com or https://facebook.com, then it is safe no matter what follows the site root.
That being said, the link you gave opens a Facebook page to Report Mistaken Email. It says:

Sign up for a bit.ly account and use it to shorten them. You can then look back at all of your previously shortened URIs.
If you want to add more data such as notes and possibly share that list, try a social bookmarking service such as Delicious.

You need a tool that runs over your site and checks all of the links.
I use SSW Link Auditor which will run over all your links to pages and images and give you a nice report. The free version works for up to 500 links but if you have more you may need to purchase one of the other versions.
