When I worked at Twitter, they had an internal URL shortener that made it easier for employees to visit internal sites. Using an easy-to-remember customized short URL is easier than navigating the internal wiki or looking up the link in your e-mail.
- jdnier 8y agoMy company does the same, and it can be convenient. Twitter's public link shortener, t.co, is one of the worst, imho, because it ubiquitous (so you can't just treat all t.co short links as junk) and yet they make it really difficult report spammy short links. Often these short links get used outside Twitter's platform.
