List of URL shorteners
- trezor 17y agoSeeing yet another "X+ URL shorterning services" I felt like making a script to automatically daisychain every single one of them, then daisychain that around another three or four times. Basically just to make a statement about how inherently useless (and fragile) URL shortening is. Because really: It is. Instead I was lazy and did some googling. Have fun! http://u.mavrev.com/1xk7 http://u.mavrev.com/1xk7

- websevenpointoh 17y agoi've got to agree with the other comments.... there's nothing impressive about url shortening. the idea behind it is incredibly simple -- nowhere near impressive. sites like this have been around for a while already so i'm not sure why all the new web2.0 folks have decided to make it their duty to make new ones. that and pastebins.
- dryicerx 17y agoI think Twitter is to be blamed for this disease
- chris24 17y agoIf Twitter came out with its own URL shortening service (or would just buy bit.ly already), I'm sure the number of URL shortening services being 'launched' every day would drop significantly.
