JAA: nice info on gsfn.us; I think a good tinytown project would be the https://getsatisfaction.com/t/{shortcode} URL template. |

Does it use normal HTTP 30x codes? |

Somebody2: Yep, it does. 302 on success, 404 on error. HEAD supported. I'll set up a project later. |

Wow. I just came across makeashorterlink.com on an ArchiveBot job. They use links like http://makeashorterlink.com/?V22D12544 , i.e. 2-3 times as long as the average link shortener. It's down currently, but apparently it's related to TinyURL: https://tinyurl.com/preview.php?site=masl&num=W1F632474 |

Internal shortener of Kaspersky Lab. Their codes are case-insensitive as far as I can tell. |

It's worth mentioning that their sites don't use lower-case codes consistently. For example, https://latam.kaspersky.com/blog/stop-doing-that-online/7851/ uses the short URL https://kas.pr/xSk4 , but https://kas.pr/xsk4 also works. Their Twitter accounts seem to *mostly* use lower-char codes, but not consistently. Still, scanning the lower-case codes should be sufficient. |

hub.me (internal shortener of HubPages.com) only has codes starting with "a" or "r", as far as I can tell. "a" might stand for "articles", "r" for "replies", but not really sure as I'm not familiar with HubPages. The actual code is then simply a base62-encoded ID. Both the type and the (decimal) ID appear on the target page as well. Many target pages no longer exist, but the short codes still resolve. |

Should that be split up into two projects hub-me-a and hub-me-r? |

The most recent IDs are close to alvyn and r1cxN, respectively. (The encoding uses the order 0-9a-zA-Z.) |

skfb.ly (internal shortener of SketchFab.com) uses incremental 0-9a-zA-Z as far as I can tell. After exhausting four-char codes in ca. February this year, they switched to five-char codes, which all seem to start with "6". The short domain simply maps to sketchfab.com/s/CODE, which then redirects to the relevant entry on the website. |

There are also some longer codes, like http://skfb.ly/mki3fe1d0 and http://skfb.ly/mki3fe1c, but I didn't see many of those. |

JAA: It's two steps, it looks messier than it is because of HTTPS redirection, 2 steps isn't that much |

TIL the tracker limits each IP address to one concurrent item/claim per project: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/terroroftinytown/blob/master/terroroftinytown/tracker/model.py#L587 . Nice! |

kas-pr is almost done. I'll let it run a bit into the five-digit codes, but I don't think any of those exist. |

getsatisfaction-com is in the five-char codes now, so roughly one sixth done. |
