When I tried tinyurl.com/love I was asked to download aout2002titres.zip

What file is this? Google & Yahoo has yet to index it. Not sure about the other SEs.

So has anyone had fun and made a microsoft Tinyurl direct to apple or the fail blog?

I must have missed something - like how this is relevant to protection.

Btw, to double check tinyurl links, just add in "preview" and you see where you are about to go. For example:

generic domain names, generic tiny urls, dang, just put "me" on everything and let the big computer in the sky send it to the right place

What makes Snipr = Snurl = SnipURL stand out as a superior alternative to TinyURL is the feature that lets you edit both the alias *and* the underlying URL. Add Snipr's pleasant user interface, various search and sorting options and user RSS feeds and you can probably understand why I prefer Snipr by far. Just sign up for an account. I am convinced you'll be delighted that you did.

I wonder if people will start mass registering generic terms or at least their names - I just my name to my blog.

Anyone who clicks on an untrusted shortened URL deserves what they get. But you can enable a preview feature in TinyURL that reduces your risk of being redirected to something nasty. Details are here:

Nice find on the custom URLs, Lewis. I agree: people will like this.

Agreed - small change, but HUGE impact. I think this makes people much more likely to click through on a URL. Would be interesting if they published some stats for CTRs before/after.
