I think. [06:31] *** bwn has joined #urlteam [06:34] If someone wants to investigate url.ie -- it seems to be alive and maybe straightforward to scrape [06:43] also wapurl.co.uk [06:49] *** bwn has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:56] added two more lists; one from wikipedia (deleted back in 2013) and the other from a link from there [07:05] and wowurl.com [07:08] and tiny.tw [07:23] *** JesseW has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 370 seconds) [07:59] *** bwn has joined #urlteam [09:36] is there a "best url shortener"?

[16:25] ranma: The "best URL shortner" is not using one. [16:47] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [16:53] my intentions aren't long term [16:54] ranma: hence the reason to not run a url shortener. If you don't commit to run it forever, you're creating URLs that will inevitably go dead, which is a bad thing. [16:54] *** dashcloud has joined #urlteam [16:55] *** svchfoo1 sets mode: +o dashcloud [16:55] i still think we should start up a shortener thingy for all our expanded links, for example: http://tr.im.urlte.am/x123 [16:55] i mean [16:55] i could do that myself [16:55] * JW_work endorses that idea [16:55] and if nobody else does it first, i might get around to it eventually [16:56] I don't want to do it myself, but I certainly think it's worth doing [16:56] ya [16:56] The only downside I can see is it makes our work a bit more visible, which might contribute to sites taking countermeasures. [16:57] hm [16:57] eh, [16:57] But I think if we limited it to shorteners that have already died, that would be even less of an issue [16:57] and there are lots of those [16:57] i have at least one ex-shortener domain, lispurl.com [16:57] unfortunately nobody ever dumped it [16:57] they were too clever and so it would have been real tricky [17:16] phuzion: it's just to shorten pain in the ass long urls when i'm on mobile that i'm sharing with friends [17:16] read once and forget [18:19] *** Start has joined #urlteam [18:50] *** bwn_ has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [19:10] *** bwn_ has joined #urlteam [19:44] *** Start has quit IRC (Quit: Disconnected.)
