This is a idea I've had for a while that solves the short-url problem... with a bit of work.
I call it ^url
It would work like DNS servers.. replicating the content between each other (the map between fullurl -> shorturl). You submit the sortURL to any one of the participating services, and that server will push the new url to all the others servers as well.
A browser extension would make any ^url (yes anything starting with a ^ symbol) and the browser would be configured to use any one of the servers (just like how you would use a domain name). You can make it so a mouse over will resolve the ^url and show the linking path (solving yet another issue).
I wish I had a bit more time these days to dedicate to this...
