I agree with you - just got the same message and had the same thought. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Adam Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 3:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [backstage] Use of Tinyurl in Emails
Hi, I've just received an email from the BBC Archive project and noticed that all the email links are using Tinyurl. Now i would argue that the BBC shouldn't be using this type of service in emails, mainly as it contradicts the advice i give friends regarding following URLs in emails that do not appear associated with the sender (for example only follow links to bbc.co.uk in emails from the beeb) Tinyurl is a great service and i can understand why it is used, but i feel that using this type of service in a wider audience is a bad idea. What does everyone else think. Adam - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
