These services are great, yet another reason to obsessively read your lovely website every day.

Just a tidbit: If anyone’s using these services simply so that the evil Outlook won’t break the link if it wraps into more than one line, keep in mind that Outlook will keep it intact if you bracket the link in .

Well, I didn’t know that anyway.

“expiration dates for links”. Urgh. Cool URIs don’t change, and they don’t expire either. I wish more people would read up on Web Architecture.

I know the original post listed a dozen extra services - well beyond the point of overkill, but this one is extra brainy: ZombieURL
