The biggest problem I have with those services is that they don't
archive well. Usenet is very well archived, you can still find posts
from over ten years ago; including references to websites. Try that with
a "tinyurl". How long do they keep those "tiny" references?

So give both the long and the tiny url. Tinyurl automatically puts its
result into your clipboard so it's easy to do.

So what's the point of having tinyurl then? Because a broken newsreader
cant handle ""-formatted urls forces everybody else to quote a url now
twice? If your newsreader doesn't open a web browser with Google after
clicking on this http://www.google.com, then you need another
newsreader, not tinyurl or whatever... ;-)
