One thing I miss from fburl (Facebook's go-links) is that pretty much EVERY internal system had built-in support for creating them. A perfect example would be the Scuba and OBS observability UIs. Instead of sharing a gnarly 500-character URL in chat to point someone to a specific query, you click "generate fburl" and get a short link. More and more commercial/open-source software has built-in support for creating their own short links these days (Grafana and Kibana both do), but having it be ubiquitous -- and easy to integrate into new tools -- was really nice.
