Open Source URL Shortening
This is pretty awesome:
After weeks of controversy concerning a possible closure of the service, URL shortener Tr.im just announced that it’s open sourcing its code, handing ownership of its domain name over to a community nonprofit organization and making clickthrough data freely available from now on, in real time.
I wonder if this will make Tr.im more or less appealing than TinyURL and bit.ly.

An fascinating concept this. I am one of those people whom tend to wait for things to mature prior to taking action but in this situation I’m mindful that inaction leads to only failures so I will heed your comments and begin to do some thing about this.
