A shortened URL is just as opaque for humans as a QR code. http://bit.ly/gAtJlyc http://bit.ly/gAtJlyc Would you trust this URL?

Would you trust this URL?
- u801e 4y agoI trusted using curl to find out it just returns a HTTP 404 page :)
- GranPC 4y agoDoesn't look like a 404 to me
- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoHehe, nice trick!

- noobermin 4y agoUsually, people (who I think pay services like bitly) can use minimized urls with some readable text, not random letters, this is to make the url more readable and visible. Anyway, for here in Singapore, what I'm talking about generally are government websites, which in SG are plentiful and well used. Things like where to find ART kits or information on GST vouchers or things like that. This is information many people are likely to access via a website, and especially trust given it's a gov website. The government often already have nifty, readable urls already for these links, like gowhere.gov.sg/art and so don't need QR codes.
