Did anything major happened after some of the early URL shorteners died? We survived just fine.
- MAGZine 12y agoThis is more akin to bit.ly shutting down imo. Yes, we "survive," but that's a pretty lame measurement of the impact. URL shorteners leave a bevy of broken links everywhere, linking to content that is now lost somewhere on the net, twitpic's departure leaves use with a big hole of the social web empty. Thousands of tweets are now without context.
