A convenient way of shrinking URLs like this is to use the tinyurl.com
service.  Go to tinyurl.com, paste the big URL into the box, hit the
button, and then use the returned small URL, which you can then post
freely.

In this case, I've already done it:  http://tinyurl.com/2fdzc .
You probably don't want to do this for anything that's truly meant to be
permanent, because it will only work as long as tinyurl.com stays in
business.
