Most people were not aware of any downtime with the service, which isn't surprising because unlike IM or email services that we pretty much depend on throughout the day, URL shorteners don't report their status immediately, and usually not to the people who have created and posted the shorter links. The only way someone would find out if they weren't working was to click on all of their shortened links and make sure that they are directed to the appropriate page. So there are several issues here. First is the usage of these services from a general sense: they can obscure malware or exploits and they create a dependency that can increase link rot if they break. One of my correspondents alternates his shortened links with two different services, to at least cover the possibility of a single point of failure. But the second issue is that why should anyone continue using an unreliable service, and one that will continue to get more popular as more people get comfortable with Twitter and similar services? It seems like now is a good time to consider alternatives to TinyURL. There are probably thousands of such services, and Chris Messina has screen shots of them on his Flickr page. The only issue I have with it is the dot "ly" domain belongs to Libya, and while the relationship between any domain owner and the Libyan government is small to none, it still makes me somewhat uncomfortable. Google has a service call shortur that you can load on your own Web site, provided you have php support.
For each URL entered, the server adds a new alias in its hashed database and returns a Short URL. URL shortener service face the same issues all links do and additionally by often being harder to read increasing the obscurity of the link. Further, these services introduce a single point of failure where normal URLs do not (if TinyURL goes down, all redirects cease to work) that is potentially open to exploitation, from serving advertisements to directing users to malicious sites. URL redirection, also called URL forwarding and the very similar technique domain redirection also called domain forwarding, are techniques on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs. Short URL redirection, also called URL forwarding and the very similar technique domain redirection also called domain forwarding are techniques on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs. Web applications often include lengthy descriptive attributes in their URLs which represent data hierarchies, command structures, transaction paths and session information. This practice results in a URL that is aesthetically unpleasant and difficult to remember, and which may not fit within the size limitations of micro blogging sites. URL shortening services provide a solution to this problem by redirecting a user to a longer URL from a shorter one. URL redirection is sometimes used as a part of phishing attacks that confuse visitors about which web site they are visiting. Because modern browsers always show the real URL in the address bar, the threat is lessened. However, redirects can also take you to sites that will otherwise attempt to attack in other ways. For example, a redirect might take a user to a site that would attempt to trick them into downloading antivirus software and ironically installing a Trojan of some sort instead.
