[21:59] who is the point of get those url? [22:05] who? [22:05] i mean what [22:07] Well, what happens when a URLshortener goes bankrupt? [22:08] A lot of URLs stop working. If we know where they go, we can help people get to where they wanted to go, instead of a "this page does not exist" (to simplify and give an example) [22:08] but it just link it dont have any useful contents [22:09] how long this project been running? [22:20] there no way people will contribute bandwidth to this project if noone is using the data [22:20] ok for example 4url.cc is down. i have one of it short url and i want to know where it point to. it seem like Chronomex is the one responible for it. the rescue is complete(site dead) so does that mean i can know where that short url point to? No. cause the data is not publish. even if it is published it will be one gaint file. Nobody would try to download that whole file to just to know one url. my suggestion is import that file to a database and create [22:22] Well, it's not exactly a lot of bandwidth [22:24] The project has been running for quite some time. We have several releases. The data is public. [22:24] there's however no easy, public, service for looking up the data without downloading it. [22:24] yet [22:24] i know but it big file, i mean try to create a website so people can access it easier. [22:25] Yeah, that's what I meant with "easy" + "public" + "service". There's no such thing currently. [22:25] It would certainly be nice to have though [22:27] Thanks for what you all are doing. kudos to you all. especially the geocities. One more thing Fuck Myspace and its CEO. Im off [22:29] haha [22:29] yeah~ [23:23] uh [23:23] what [23:23] ok
