I recently posted a dent/tweet to Nokia N900 Delay Highlights Maemo's Importance. Usually when I create a bit.ly link, I test it before I send it out, but it was Friday afternoon and I was in a hurry, and it was just a link to an article, so I didn't test it.
… and I missed the last letter when I copied the link …
I posted http://bit.ly/3tizhv without the last letter. Without the last letter the link redirects you to a site that most of us would prefer not to open at work, instead of a nice Business Week article about Nokia, Maemo and the N900.
So be careful when using url shortening tools!
And have a good weekend! It's time for me to go see if I can transform myself into Ms. Incredible for my son's Halloween Party. At least she wears all her clothes.
Wow! Suggests a whole new kind of spamming … squat on likely-looking shortened URLs! You just need to crack some shortener’s logic..
Wow, alternative is much more worth looking than the boring nokia article 🙂
