    bitly:

    Back in April, we reached out to several of the leading URL shortening services to suggest a wayback machine-like approach to archiving the mappings of the URLs.  The idea was simple.  Each week bit.ly and other participating shorteners would bulk upload URL mappings to a separate service — allowing users access to the mappings in case an individual shortener went down. We registered 301works.com (and .org) for this service.


    Short links have become indespensible, so initiatives like this to make sure there is enough redundancy for the whole ecosystem are really important. Go Bit.ly!
