I find 5 years time it goes bust or starts using ads then all the hyperlinks in mailing list archives etc... will be lost, and searching archives won't be much use. I understand the idea in principle, but I think encouraging webmasters to create shorter URL it's a better idea. Also, many URLs can be shortened: e.g. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=evolt Can be shortened to: http://www.google.com/search?q=evolt and still function correctly, Usually there's only one or two key pieces of information. I think ifpossible people should try to do that. - Kevin
