More data rot. I wonder how many millions of links are about to disappear.

I really hope nobody used shortened links in href attributes. That would be stupid.

On this planet, it seems that there is nothing so stupid that you won’t find someone doing it, alas.

Don’t worry. There’s a high chance at least one critical software has a shortened link somewhere in their infrastructure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

What, like, DreamWeaver style? Sounds cray-cray to me (as a web developer).
