05:22 🔗 chronomex http://techcrunch.com/2009/04/19/now-even-the-new-york-times-is-entering-the-url-shortening-arena-kinda/
05:22 🔗 chronomex the asshats who put up nyturl.com couldn't afford to even keep the domain for two fucking years
05:22 🔗 chronomex (I was looking over the wiki page)
16:53 🔗 PepsiMax 'nyturl.com' fucking new york times
16:54 🔗 soultcer Well the old nyturl.com was an url shortener. The new one is about lingerie.
16:54 🔗 soultcer I like the new one better.
16:54 🔗 PepsiMax after 2 years?
16:55 🔗 PepsiMax they slipped the payment of the domain?
16:55 🔗 soultcer At the beginning with a few big shorteners everyone started to say "Make your own shortener for your own domain, so that when the big shortener fails your URLs still work".
16:55 🔗 soultcer It think that was a mistake, we should have let everyone use the big shorteners
16:57 🔗 PepsiMax I think Googles one is the stronges
16:57 🔗 SketchCow I was sure that was going to work.
16:57 🔗 SketchCow Positive
16:57 🔗 PepsiMax except it is Google.
16:57 🔗 SketchCow I am sad it has not worked out
16:59 🔗 soultcer I think techcrunch is right, it was never an official project and now they use nyti.ms (which is based on bit.ly's "build your own shortener" bullshit) and simply decided that they don't need the old one anymore
