Presumably they're hoping to monetize the data they're harvesting, with things like the mentioned social news site.
How realistic it is that that will be a home run for them, I'm not sure.

- msbarnett 16y agoI wonder how much money there is in that. For organizations that want a vanity shortener but have no in-house IT resources it might have some appeal, but it seems like it would be a very cheap, simple thing to do in house in all other cases.

But at some level of complexity in functionality, reporting, etc it'd have to be attractive to people to just make use of another service. e.g., we can build a newsletter system that is OK, but the bang for buck that MailChimp provides is greater and so we often recommend that to clients.
