why URL shorteners suck
Yes, yes, and yes! I've been meaning to rant on URL shorteners since their recent Twitter-fueled comeback, but Joshua Schachter's piece (via Kottke) succinctly says everything I wanted and more.

Next up, a full rant on Twitter (not the service, which is certainly not uninteresting, but the behavior it's spurred and the attitude that surrounds it). Unless I find one to link to first.

But it probably won't use my favorite new portmanteau: narcissystem.

The opposite of URL shorteners! All of the same problems, none of the benefits! Awesome!
