Why URL shorterners are bad for the Internet.

Short URL auto-discovery is a simple way to link a long URL with a short URL

Twitter clients and other consumers would load the URL that the user is embedding during posting time and check for the <link rel="shorturl" href="..." /> tag. If it exists the application should honor the href value and use it in place of the original URL.

phph url shortener script permettant de faire ses shortener sur son propre nom de domaine! Outil très intéressant

This morning I set Outspoken Media up with it’s own URL “shortening service” so to speak and Lisa thought you guys might want to know how I did it. With all the talk of Tweet-Jacking and concerns regarding the branding you’re doing for URL shortening services instead of yourself, it only makes sense to create your own internal URL shortening service if at all possible.

url shortener to use own link

Bookmarklet that will 1st check canonical, if there is no shortURL, then it will create one using TinyURL

A bookmarklet to extract rev="canonical" links from pages. I only use a few sites that support this at the moment (notably Flickr), but it's quite handy.

shorten your bacon links

“Bacn.me is a bacon-related link shortener that can be used on popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace to integrate links to things you're trying to show your friends. If you sign up for a Bacn.me account and create your own links we'll even tell you how many times people are clicking on those links.”

Even links are better with bacon!

twitter switch to Bit.ly

A little startup called Bit.ly has unseated TinyURL as the default link shortening service on Twitter. This isn't just about shortening links, though. "The truth about Bit.ly," enterprise software analyst James Governor said today, "is that it's not a URL shortener, it's a trend management and metrics platform." The key idea behind the Web is that pages are connected through hypertext links. Google changed the world and made money beyond anyone's wildest dreams by analyzing those connections between pages. It was a simple proposition, at its core: the more a page is linked to, the more authoritative it is. The web isn't just pages anymore, though. Now the web also includes people as a fundamental factor to take into consideration.

important point: google analyses where links points, bit.ly analyses what links get shared where - twitter is another linking/pointing technology driven by people
