Its obvious that we need shorteners, the original purpose being email but Twitter bucked that trend.
So now, what we dont need is more URL shorteners. What we do need is more sites to implement their own shortening like YouTube and Flickr (eg, http://youtu.be/3jDfSqtG2E4 and http://flic.kr/p/MGuRJ). Its all about the rev canonical. This way, a shortened URL will stay about as long as that site is about and the internets doesn't break. People seem to want click stats though, although i dont see why you cant get these out of google analytics etc. Check out http://revcanonical.appspot.com/ for more. |
