Hi Matt - thanks for the writeup on the tr.im debacle. I'm not sure I agree with the comment that url shorteners are "crippling the infrastructure of the internet". I see a huge amount of value in one-time or short term use links where longevity is much less important than other factors like brevity or statistical tracking.
