It's more of an experiment than anything else. It helps get browsers and tools up to standards and gives us a little fun/toy while we're at it. And the URLs are dramatically shorter than a character or two-- for example: http://➡.ws/껻 http://➡.ws/껻 (6 chars after protocol) versus: http://tinyurl.com/aqehn8 http://tinyurl.com/aqehn8 (16 chars after protocol) http://ri.ms/9i0 http://ri.ms/9i0 (9 chars after protocol) It only beats our own ri.ms shrinker by three characters, but that's still something people might consider. And because it uses unicode, it will be a very long time before it moves beyond even 2 character suffixes. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. :)
