Wise move for whom?
Bit.ly buying tr.im is good for the tr.im guys; I suppose bit.ly would get some good will, so it might make sense from their standpoint, depending upon the price.
Bit.ly hosting existing tr.im links offers nothing to the tr.im folks; I'm not sure why tr.im would go for it, except to prove that they're mensches.
- mrduncan 17y agoWell, tr.im would possibly get out of some hosting costs since they've promised to keep everything up until December 31st. That said, I'll be surprised if it actually happens.
- onreact-com 17y agoWise for bit.ly - It would mean more market share for bit.ly plus it would be a proof of reliance for short URLs. Plus inheriting a good brand has additional value. They could position tr.im for a different target market than bit.ly bit.ly as the comprehensive one, tr.im as the quick and easy one for instance. Even in the short it means a wave of good publicity like you see here.
