All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection
I see two big features here: 1) Recognizable URLs, and 2) analytics.
Do all HTTP requests need to go through bit.ly to achieve these features? Nope. http://nytimes.com http://nytimes.com is a pretty recognizable URL, if you ask me. I'm sure their server logs provide all the analytics they need as well.
Someone should "cut out the middleman" and invent a world wide web that doesn't require URL shorteners. Oh wait, Tim Berners-Lee already did that.
