Ask HN: The growing liability of URL shortening services

1 点作者 petar将近 14 年前
URL shorteners are used more and more (think Twitter's client e.g.) This means that vast amounts of hyperlinked semantic information rests on a few companies.<p>The shortened URLs end up in may places in many forms. E.g. I use my twitter stream as a database of websites that I have found useful for work or otherwise. My database is useless if a shortening service goes down. For some companies, even downtime of a shortener costs money.<p>Do you think that continuing the trend of relying on a few shorteners is increasing risk out of proportion?<p>Many things can happen to a shortener: the company can fail, their security can be compromised by hackers, their CEO may choose to close shop and discover their spiritual self, and so on and so on.<p>Thoughts?
